Archaeological Route
We begin our tour with a drive through the enchanting highlands, enjoying breathtaking views along the way. We arrive at Ingapirca, which is the main Inca archaeological site in Ecuador. The sun worshipers built this fortress-temple in the Cañar valley. It is located approximately 60 miles northeast of Cuenca at 10,500 feet above sea level.
We continue our tour of Gualaceo and Chordeleg, two charming towns famous for crafts. We will visit a workshop where artisans produce the best silver filigree in Ecuador. There will be time to go shopping or just admire the interesting atmosphere of the city.
Our last stop will be in the workshop of a local family where we will see the process of weaving shawls and ponchos on ancient looms, using dyes extracted from plants. At the end of this full day tour, you will be returned to your hotel.
