With family and friends visiting from the USA, I wanted to share with them some fascinating local history and archeology. Emilio was recommended to me as a great guide to the ruins at Ingapirca. Indeed, he was that and more! He safely drove us from Cuenca to the site and showed us around some of the nearby points of interest while we waited our turn to enter the main archeological grounds.
When the official guide couldn’t offer us the promised commentary in English, Emilio took over and gave us insightful explanations of what we were seeing and the history of the Cañari and Inca peoples.
Throughout the day, as we drove Emilio explained the history of these peoples, their cultures, and the challenges that came with the arrival of the Spanish. I couldn’t have hoped for more for my guests!
