PreColumbian Ruins - Ingapirca
 
The Incan ruins of Ingapirca are considered Ecuador’s most important archaeological site. There can still be found many of the massive fortifications and temples of the Incas, which boast some of their finest mortarless stonework. A tour to Ingapirca will make you live a fascinating time that you shouldn’t miss while visiting Cuenca.

Every month we take our students to Ingapirca. The site is located at 5 ½ km east of Cañar, at 3160 meters. The central structure is an "usnu", which is a platform probably used as a solar observatory. Next to it is "Cara del Inca", an immense natural formation in the rock looking over the landscape.

On Fridays there is an interesting Indian market at Ingapirca.
