Ingapirca ruins - Inca site of Cuenca Ecuador
Ingapirca ruins are the biggest in Ecuador. A day trip to Ingapirca from Cuenca in Ecuador is recommended. I really liked the Ingapirca site and even if it is a bit far from Cuenca it is worth it.

I N G A P I R C A - CAÑAR - E C U A D O R
En la provincia del Cañar a 3.180 msnm, y a 80 km de la ciudad de Cuenca en ECUADOR, se levanta la más importante construcción arqueológica del Ecuador, de origen inca-canari.
Ingapirca es una palabra quechua que significa Muro del Inca. Es una construcción auténticamente incásica, a pesar de que este nombre se haya utilizado en designar diversas ruinas prehispánicas, sin que necesariamente su origen tenga que ver con la cultura incásica.
El conjunto de vestigios arqueológicos de Ingapirca, es conocido desde mediados del siglo XVIII, y al valle del Cañar en el que se encuentran estos aposentos, se lo denominaba en el siglo XVI como provincia de Hatun Cañar.

Visit to Ingapirca Inca ruins April 14/12 - Per Wikipedia:
Ingapirca (Kichwa: Inkapirka, Inca wall) is a town in Cañar Province, Ecuador and the name of an Incan archeological site just outside the town. The town was named after the Inca palace and temple site.
These are the largest known Inca ruins in Ecuador. The most significant building is the temple of the sun, an elliptically shaped building constructed around a large rock. The building is constructed in the Incan way without mortar in most of the complex. The stones were carefully chiseled and fashioned to fit together perfectly. The temple of the sun was positioned so that on the solstices, at exactly the right time of day, sunlight would fall through the center of the doorway of the small chamber at the top of the temple. Most of this chamber has fallen down.
The Incas were not the first inhabitants of Ingapirca. It had long been settled by the Cañari indigenous people, who called it Hatun Cañar.
The castle-complex presents a Inca-Cañari origin. The objective of its construction is uncertain. The complex played an important role on military strategies as a fortress and provisions to troops on north Ecuador. A common criteria of archeologists states that the main objective for its construction was linked to cult of sun.
It is said that the Inca Túpac Yupanqui during the expansion's campaigns of the Inca-Empire trough south Ecuador, met the Cañari Hatun Cañar tribe and strategically married the Cañari princes Paccha, giving on birth to the future Inca Huayna Capac in the city of Pumapungo (nowadays Cuenca).
In this way, the Inca dominated the Cañari and they decided to settle their differences and live together peacefully. The Canari people built this complex for the Inca Huayna Capac. They renamed the city and kept most of their individual customs separate. Although the Inca were more numerous, they did not demand that the Cañari give up their autonomy.
At Incapirca they developed a complex underground aqueduct system to provide water to the entire compound.
As a cult edification, people had numerous ritual celebrations on the complex. Gallons of a local fermented drink were used in these festivals. As sun and moon worshippers, they tried to be as close to their gods as possible. The weather changes there are usually within minutes of each other, calm and sunny one minute and within fifteen minutes rainy, windy and cold. This climate volatility is typical year round. The people felt strongly that this was the place where the gods had led them, regardless of the climate.
To visit Ingapirca, travelers can take a day tour up from the city of Cuenca or spend the night in the towns of El Tambo or Cañar.

During our visit to Ingapirca Inca and Canari ruins April 14/12 we were also dearly entertained by the antics of the llama herd that has the run of the place. One female seemed to be the object of attention for all the eligible males and one dominant male was working hard to keep them at bay.
