Ingapirca, "Incan Wall", is an archeological site well off the beaten path. We left the Pan American highway to wind our way through farmland and around the new road construction. I hope the new road will make a big difference for future visitors.
Ingappirca is the largest known Incan ruins in Ecuador. It is not as large or grand as Machu Picchu or Sacsayhuaman, Peru but we found it a worthwhile trip as we are on the hunt for all things Inca.
