Ingapirca tour amazing! - I would say an improvement to this is to ask about seniors on the trip. There were portions of the tour that would have been free for seniors but instead were paid because I made the reservation through Viator. Otherwise, the tour was great. Our guide was very good (though he should have a mic) and the ruins were amazing.

Great day trip from Cuenca - Andres was a great guide. He spent time in the US so his English was great, and he was very knowledgeable about everything from Inca history to flora and fauna. Hardly anyone was at Ingapirca or the 2 towns we visited - not sure if November is the low season but I’m not complaining. Felt like I had the whole place to myself! The drive itself is very lovely. Seeing the farmland and how each area specializes in different types of agriculture was really cool to see. The lunch restaurant was also very yummy - the locro de papa (potato soup) was my favorite and the view was incredible!

Ingapirca and yummy lunch in Gualaceo - We had a great day traveling with Alejandro as our guide. Alejandro was very knowledgeable and friendly. The only downside of our trip was a mix up in communication for pick up location and it was difficult to get in touch with the company to update the pick up info. The downside ended up benefitting us because we missed the bus but the company kindly sent another van and guide last minute and we ended up with a private tour which was perfect because we we’re traveling with a toddler. Thank you for everything!
