Departing from Cuenca, you’ll travel through picturesque countryside while your Bilingual English–Spanish Guide shares stories of pre-Columbian history. On the way to Ingapirca, you will stop at the Church of Biblián, an impressive sanctuary built on the hillside of Zhalao, known for its striking architecture and panoramic views of the surrounding valley.

At Ingapirca, explore the complex in detail and learn about its spiritual and strategic importance. After exploring the main archaeological complex, the visit continues to La Cara del Inca, a natural rock formation shaped by the wind and weather over centuries, resembling the profile of an Inca face. You will also visit the Ingapirca Museum, which houses artifacts, ceramics, and exhibits that help you better understand the history and culture of the Cañari and Inca civilizations.
Additionally, on Sundays, it is possible to visit the Cañar Market, a lively traditional market where local communities gather to sell fresh produce, textiles, and handmade goods.

NOTE: Ingapirca is open Wednesday–Sunday.
