In the province of Cañar, in the south of the country, at 3,160 meters above sea level and 16 km from the Cañar city, stands the most important archaeological construction of Inca origin in the current Republic of Ecuador. It is an authentically Inca-Cañari construction, which was built at the beginning of the 16th century ("Ingapirca," 2021).
Ingapirca had been an observatory of the sun and the moon. It was shortly before the arrival of the Spanish people.
This archaeological site is recognized since the middle of the 18th century. There are references to Cañar Valley, the place where this structure was found in the 16th century. At that time, it was known as the province of Hatun Cañar (Quichua: Hatun Kañar), which means "the great place of the Cañariz"
It is a place full of history and interesting facts. You can visit it to learn and have a great time with friends or family. Also, you can buy beautiful souvenirs there.
