3. 5.0 El pedregal (1 review)
   - Pedregal
   Spent More than 3 hours Sports Complexes
   Pedregal is located in La Troncal, El Triunfo. It offers an excellent service with custom attention and low cost. I went with my friends and I had an excellent day because it is a beautiful place with wonderful landscape. Pedregal is the perfect place to visit with your family, friends and any persons, because this place offers a variety of touristicattractions. For example, it has more than ten pools for children and adults, artificial waterfalls, cabins to rest with a grill in case you want to prepare your food, enough green areas for walking, courts for sporting activities and restaurants but you can bring your own food. It also has a little park with recreational games. In addition, it has various spaces to celebrate your birthday, anniversary and any other party. Visit it please, you will not regret it!

4. 5.0 Sanctuary of the Virgin of the Morning Dew (1 review)
   - Picturesque church on a hill
   Spent < 1 hour Churches & Cathedrals
   
   
   The Sanctuary of the Virgin of the Morning Dew was beautifully-built blended on the hilltop of Biblian town in Cañar province. The stairs are quite steep so you'll be a bit breathless. But when you get to the top, you'll be rewarded by spectacular views of the town. The interior of the church is quite remarkably carved into the rock, particularly the main altar. You'll be in awe of this church as I was. See more..
   
5. 4.5 Ingapirca Ruins (474 reviews)
   - Good day trip if you have extra days in Cuenca
   Thursday: 8:30 AM - 5:30 PM Historic Sites • Ancient Ruins
   
   
   Ingapirca or “Wall of the Inca” is one of the most important ruin complexes in Ecuador, which many archaeologists theorize was once used for religious purposes. See more..
   
6. 4.5 Ingapirca Archaeological Complex (29 reviews)
   - Great site, best experienced with a guide
   Spent 1-2 hours Ancient Ruins
   
   
   Ingapirca is the largest site of Inca ruins in Ecuador. Easily accessible from Cuenca. I suggest a guide as the interpretation tables on site only give you a very basic overview. These were my first Inca ruins so I can’t compare. It is a small site but worth the experience. Take the hike into the village to see Inca Face and other artefacts discovered. See more..
   
7. 4.5 Santuario de la Virgen del Rocio (19 reviews)
   - Beautiful church built into the mountainside.
   Religious Sites
   
   
   This outside of this church is truly magnificent. It is built into the side of the mountain, which leaves areas of bare rock within the church, which is somewhat unusual. The climb to the entrance is not for the faint-hearted. If I remember rightly, it's 129 steep steps. The inside of the church is somewhat bare, but the smell of fresh cut flowers inside is extremely pleasant. See more..
   
8. 4.5 Cara del Inca (12 reviews)
   - An amazing natural rock sculpture.
   Spent 1-2 hours Geologic Formations
   
   
   A short stroll from the ruins of Ingapirca is this amazing natural rock sculpture of an Indian face in the cliff side. A 15 minute return walk. See more..
   
9. 4.5 Mirador Virgen de la Nube (11 reviews)
   - A very nice place to visit
   Spent More than 3 hours Lookouts • Religious Sites • Scenic Walking Areas
   
   
   We really enjoyed. A miraculous place to visit. Any one wishes have the blessed feeling with Mother Mary, you please go and have a visit. You will never forget such moments. See more..
   
10. 4.5 Cojitambo Ruines (6 reviews)
    - MORE THAN THE RUINS, THE VEWS
    Ancient Ruins • Points of Interest & Landmarks
    
    
    This archaeological site is interesting but very small. In compensation, scenario is incredible. Being a mountain cut in two, a half actually missing, probably because of an earthquake in remote eras, an almost 360* is available. Of course, do this only in sunny days (and bring a hat). The road is complicated, so hire a guide with a car. And put on adequate shoes for climbing. A pair of binoculars will also be useful. See more..
    
11. 4.5 El Tambo (2 reviews)
    - Laguna de las Culebrillas
    Ancient Ruins
    
    
    El camino es muy malo, la via no está adecuada para el turismo, solo se puede ir en un 4x4. Desde Guayaquil, llegando a Tambo se toma una camioneta para llegar a la laguna, sin embargo el transporte funciona de manera continua hasta el medio día! En el sitio solo hay una cabaña de refugio donde están 2 guardias del lugar. No hay señal celular. Debes ir muy abrigado ya que el frío es extremo. Hay que llevar un aperitivo consistente y algo caliente para beber además de agua. La belleza extrema del lugar compensa los contratiempo! See more..
    
12. 4.0 Tren Ecuador - Banos del Inca (4 reviews)
    - Visit Banos del Inca (with or without train)
    Sightseeing Tours
    
    
    Ofcourse the train was not running while we were there ... but fortunately we were staying a Hosteria La Condesa, which is closeby, and they found as a young man who guided us to the site. It was not open, but he knew a way in, and showed us around the site. It was very interesting to see, but we have to admit, it would have been better if we would have had a guide who could explain us what we were looking at! See more..
    
13. 4.0 Parroquia de Ingapirca (2 reviews)
    - Gateway to the Ruins
    Spent < 1 hour Churches & Cathedrals
    
    
    A good place to stop-by on the way to the ruins. There are a few shops, places to eat and transportation options. See more..
