Canar

Canar is often skipped by tourists after a quick visit to Ingapirca. There is a lot more to be found than these ruins. The interesting culture stretches out through all the cities and little villages. Many of these places are easilly accessible from the main road between Cuenca and Quito and are certainly worth a quick stop.
