Ingapirca Ruins Day Trip
We'll pick you up at your hotel in Cuenca at the scheduled time and then head towards the archaeological complex of Ingapirca.
Our first stop will be the Gothic Basilica of the Virgen del Rocío, located to the south of Cuenca. The structure features 49 granite columns and 36 arches. You can learn about the miracle that occurred on the hill of Zhalao while there.
Upon arrival at the Ingapirca complex, we'll take a guided tour of the ancient pre-Columbian city. We'll examine structures such as lintels, tombs, the Face of the Inca, the Vaguada, La Condamine, while learning about the perfectly cut stones.
We'll stop at the Temple of the Sun, a prominent indigenous astronomical site, to explore theories about this sanctuary and discuss human and animal sacrifices that occurred here.
After the tour, we will take you to a restaurant for a meal. Finally, we'll head back to Cuenca, where you'll arrive at your hotel after an eight-hour trip.
