Ingapirca

From the city of Cuenca we went by bus to Ingapirca, Ecuador's finest Inca remains. As ever in the Andes the scenery was splendid whenever we were above, below or between the clouds

A wandering llama admiring us admiring it.
Worshiping the sun. The main building is believed to have been a solar observatory. The fine quality of the stonework indicating that the site was an important place of worship.
Rain coats were the sensible attire of choice.

A pleasant one kilometer walk led us to the Face of the Inca, a natural rock formation which was probably chipped away at to make it even more face-like. A nice touch was the shrubs growing above the eyes that look just like eye brows.
