What To Expect

Santuario de la Virgen del Rocio

We start our tour by visiting Rocio Virgin Church in Biblian. This church has a very distinctive gothic architectural style, dating back to the late 19th century. Next, we will visit an indigenous family where we’ll observe the weaving of Panama hats. This is one of the most authentic crafts of Southern Ecuador and has a prominent role in the economy of the area. We continue our tour with a ride through the enchanting highlands, enjoying the beautiful views along the way.

Ingapirca is located approximately 60 miles northeast of Cuenca at an elevation of 10,500 feet above sea level. Upon arrival at Ingapirca, one of the most important Inca structures is waiting for us – an elliptical platform known as the “Sun’s Temple”.

Small group tour to the very beautiful Rocio Virgin Church with unique castle-like architecture. We had a short stop to try roasted/skin flamed pork and then a detailed walking tour of Ingapirca with option to see the “face” in the mountain. We stopped for a delicious lunch too, and our tour guide. Wilson was very knowledgeable, patient and and helpful.

Thank you, Cuena Bestours. Our tour of Ingapirca with Wilson was spectacular! He’s an excellent guide. As someone that has lived in Cuenca all his life, Wilson helped us understand how people have lived in the region over the last 600 years. We discussed many topics during the car ride and lunch including a quick stop to watch the process of the famous pig roasting. We would recommend to family and friends!

Our trip to Ingapirca was wonderful, our tour guide Wilson was very knowledgeable and helpful with all of our questions. He was like traveling with a friend instead of the tour guide. Lunch was really good, I would highly recommend this day trip.

We had a fabulous day on our tour to Ingapirca and a couple of other sites. Our guide, Enrique, was very knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating. He was especially good at engaging our 14- and 16-year olds We had a delicious lunch during the trip and the opportunity to see how silver filigree is made at an artisanal workshop. We also visited a museum/workshop to see how authentic Ikat fabric is made. The drive was very interesting itself and Enrique provided commentary along the way. Our driver, Manuel, was safe and great at pickups and drop offs during the day. Highly recommended tour!
