Cuenca – Ingapirca – Alausi
Ingapirca Archaeological Complex - From Cuenca we’ll travel 48 miles north direction to the Ingapirca archaeological site, it’s the largest Incan ruins in Ecuador which encapsulates the sophisticated Inca design, architecture, and engineering. You’ll discover how, the Incas merged their own community with the native indigenous called Cañaris. This is reflected in the two separate Temples of the Moon and Sun, dedicated to the beliefs of each culture.
Please notice the Ingapirca Ruins are closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. We can still visit the site from the outside or we can propose an alternative activity instead.
Estacion Ferrocarril - Explore one of the most interesting areas in our country. “The Devil’s Nose Mountain”. On this mountain the famous Devil’s Nose Train was built. In its day it was considered one of the greatest feats of railroad engineering that the world had seen.
