MalenaN Says: The admission to Ingapirca archaeological site is $6 (July 2011). In that price a guided tour of the site and entrance to the museum is included. The guided tour takes about an hour and if you don’t speak Spanish there are also English speaking guides available. You don’t...
MalenaN Says: Admission to the small museum is included in the ticket price for visiting the Ingapirca ruins ($6 July 2011). I didn’t visit the museum right after the ruins, but came back later before closing time. At this time there were no other visitors and I had the museum to...
MalenaN Says: There are several dirt roads you can take around Ingapirca if you want to go for a walk. I took the one continuing above Ingapirca archaeological site, past Posada Ingapirca. In the early afternoon (when I sat inside to eat lunch) it was sunny and views over the mountains...
Strannik Says: Besides walking through Ingapirca ruins, there is another interesting thing to do in the surroundings, just ask for "Cara del Inca" rock and you will be led by a 20 minute-path that crosses small colorful rural houses to a rock with a clear human face's siloutte, which is...
MalenaN Says: I usually don’t write tips about places where I have never stayed, but in Ingapirca there are not many choices and if you look for some more comfort than Hostal Restaurante El Huasipungo where I stayed, than Posada Ingapirca is the only place. It is situated in an old...
Hostal Restaurante El Huasipungo
MalenaN Says: In my guidebook it says that the only place to stay at in Ingapirca is Posada de Ingapirca. It is a lovely place, but too expensive. Lukily I read in another guidebook that there is a cheaper place to stay at in Ingapirca, and that is Hostal Restaurante El Huasipungo.When I...
titti Says: Close to the ancient site of Ingapirca, you can find one of the most lovely hotel I've ever seen.Everything was simply perfect, included meals... Even the big black bug sharing the bathroom was pretty enough... Just missed... but that's another story... :-) Great...
Restaurant at Hostal El Huasipungo
MalenaN Says: The rooms at Hostal El Huasipungo is upstairs and the restaurants is downstairs. I had intended to eat there in the evening, but it seemed like they had closed for the day. When I asked for something too eat one of the girls, who were sweeping the floor, ran out in to the...
MalenaN Says: Just a few hundred metres above the archaeological site in Ingapirca is Posada Ingapirca. I had heard that it is a beautiful place and decided to go there to see if they served lunch. There were no other lunch guests at the moment but there was lunch so I sat down in the...
MalenaN Says: In the morning I took a taxi from the hotel in Cuenca to the bus terminal. It was $2. At the terminal I looked for Transportes Cañar which have direct buses to Ingapirca at 9am ( the bus left 5 minutes earlier, so don't come late). The ticket was $2.50 (July 2011) and to...
MalenaN Says: From Ingapirca there are frequent buses to El Tambo and Cañar. The first bus in the morning is leaving around 6.10 and that is the one I took when leaving Ingapirca, because I had a long journey ahead of me and I didn´t want to arrive to Baños too late. The bus stopped many...
Helpfulness
Favorite thing: We visited Ingapirca on our drive from Riobamba to Cuenca. Having seen Macchu Picchu this was not an amazing site for us. Nevertheless it's a nice site; the chape of the temple is special as it is an ellipse. The scenery is nice. So in short; if you're in the neighbourhood, it's a nice trip if you're not... don't go out of your way to visit it.
