Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Santuario de la Virgen del Rocio, Avenida Daniel Munoz, Canar 030350 Ecuador
Ingapirca is located approximately 60 miles northeast of Cuenca at an elevation of 10,500 feet above sea level.
We start our tour by visiting Rocio Virgin Church in Biblian. This church has a very distinctive gothic architectural style, dating back to the late 19th century. Next, we will visit an indigenous family where we’ll observe the weaving of Panama hats. This is one of the most authentic crafts of Southern Ecuador and has a prominent role in the economy of the area. We continue our tour with a ride through the enchanting highlands, enjoying the beautiful views along the way.
Duration: 3 hours
Stop At: Ingapirca Archaeological Complex, Ingapirca Ecuador
Upon arrival at Ingapirca, one of the most important Inca structures is waiting for us – an elliptical platform known as the “Sun’s Temple”. Afterwards, we will explore the courtyards, terraces and various other ruins. In order to get a closer look at the local atmosphere, we will take a short hike to observe the Inca’s Face, a large stone outcropping.
Lunch in a local restaurant and return to Cuenca.
Duration: 3 hours

Our guide, Javier, was very knowledgeable about the customs and lives of the Incans and the Cañaris. We all learned so much. He was very accommodating, stopping for breakfast and a wonderful lunch. In addition he spoke perfect English, so we could all get the most out of the tour. Being picked up and dropped off at our hotel was so convenient. All in all this was the perfect tour and well worth every penny!
