Ingapirca


We took a bus two hours north of Cuenca, to the ruins of Ingapirca.
Ingapirca is the largest set of Incan ruins in Ecuador. The biggest
building at the site is the Temple of The Sun, and is built in an
elliptical shape without any mortar. It was positioned so that on
the solstices, the sunlight would fall through the center doorway.
