Didn't get to go inside or up close or learn much about the templo—what some would consider the main feature of the ruins here—perhaps because some students were studying it or reconstructing it at the time, saw some scaffolding and half a dozen jovenes dusting the stones—I don't really know, my guide didn't say anything about the templo, when we arrived here at the end of the tour she simply broke the news that we owed her more money because, unbeknownst to us, she was a "private guide" not included in the admission price, even though we had not personally contracted her, the complejo had called her in for us when we purchased the tickets. See my review of the tourist trap "complejo" for more, but suffice it to say Ingapirca no vale la pena ni la plata, güey, vete a Cajas o El Chorro de Giron para disfrutar esta región de véras.

Visited here as part of our organized day tour. Loved learning about the history and significance of this location.

This place . I am Ecuatorian if you visit Ingapirca congratulacion and welcome Ecuador's Amazing

(Translated by Google) Unfortunately when I arrived I found it closed to the public. I only saw it from the outside, it is very well kept and the gardens around it are also very well looked after. The variable weather made the color of the stones almost always uniform and did not allow for that play of polychromy that the site has as a characteristic!! However it has its charm and must be seen regardless!! (Original) Purtroppo quando sono arrivato l’ho trovato chiuso al pubblico. L’ho visto solo dall’esterno, è tenuto molto bene e anche i giardini intorno sono molto curati. Il tempo variabile ha reso il colore delle pietre quasi sempre uniforme e non ha permesso di avere quel gioco di policromia che il sito ha come caratteristica!! Comunque ha il suo fascino è va visto a prescindere!!

(Translated by Google) It is a very pleasant place, really pure air although it is very cold, it has strong wind currents but from there you can see the entire town of Ingapirca and it is an unforgettable view because the sunlight is shown through the mountains. The construction of the temple of the sun has not been modified and is kept intact from how it was built by the Cañari ancestors. The panorama is totally beautiful and welcoming.
