| During my mission in Peru, I had to leave the country to renew my tourist visa so I went to Ecuador to visit the Incan ruins at Ingapirca. The Ingapirca riuns are the billed as the most important ruins in Ecuador. They were inhabited by the Incas until the 1530s as well as prior civilizations before the Incas. It is a one hour taxi ride from Cuenca and has a nice little museum with it as well as intexpensive textiles and crafts made locally. Here are some pictures, I neglected to get pictures of the actual human skull or Incan artifacts that a local had dug up and was trying to sell to us. I could have bought them and given them to the museum but she wanted a lot of money for them. The skull was certainly real and some of the artifacts looked real but could have been faked. Anyway, all I left with was pictures. |
