On the way, you will experience the enchanting highlands and beautiful scenery of the Southern Andes of Ecuador. Ingapirca is the most important Inca structure in the country. It consists of a main elliptical platform known as the “Sun’s Temple”. Alongside are courtyards, terraces, and various other ruins we will also explore.

After lunch at a local restaurant, we will continue on the Pan-American highway to Riobamba. Along the way, we will stop at Colta, a small town where the Spanish founded the first city in Ecuador.
