Sunday we hopped a bus to Ingapirca, the largest known Inca ruins in Ecuador. Per our guide, the Inca built on top of structures the Cañari people had constructed prior to the Inca arrival. He told stories of how the Cañari/Inca used rocks with holes to mix paint and /or do astronomy… unclear which part might be true.
The ruins are no where near as impressive as Machu Picchu or any of the other sites we saw in Peru, but they were worth the trip. See the awesome Inca architecture below… no mortar and still standing after 500 years.
