Stand where the Inca and Cañari worlds merged, at Ecuador's most significant archaeological site. Walk the same stone pathways used for ceremonies and rituals over five centuries ago.

Faits rapides: Vieux d'environ 500 ans, ce complexe inca est le plus grand site archéologique connu d'Équateur. Contrairement à de nombreux sites incas, son Temple du Soleil de forme ovale a été construit autour d'un immense rocher naturel plutôt que taillé dans la roche.

Points forts: Le Temple du Soleil est aligné avec une telle précision que lors du solstice de juin, la lumière du soleil traverse une porte et illumine parfaitement le rocher central. Les Cañaris, peuple local, habitaient ces terres des générations avant l'arrivée des Incas, et leur influence perdure dans le style de construction incurvé unique du site, qui mêle les deux cultures.
