El Tambo, Ecuador
The Temple of the Sun at Ingapirca
Gusty headwinds and road construction made our morning ride difficult. We found a hostal midday and then cycled up the steep road to Ingapirca in the afternoon. Ingapirca is the most significant Inca ruin in Ecuador. Canals from a nearby stream still surround the site where water once flowed through stone-lined channels to ritual baths for the Virgins. The tight-fitting stone blocks are not of uniform size, or even square.
