Excursion to the Canari ruins on
Cojitambo, northeast of Cuenca.
That was the day's
excitement, Cheers, Al
 |
| We were headed for the summit of this mountain, Cojitambo |
 |
| Lots of little churches in the countryside |
 |
| Neat roof ornaments. This one was most unusual. |
 |
| Cojitambo looks very pointed but isn't really. Great cliff. |
 |
| Get ready for lots of great views |
 |
| Cute flowers |
 |
| Steps into the mountainside |
 |
| I got lots of shots of the Canari ruins |
 |
| The ruins are just below the summit |
 |
| The site commands a spectacular view, to Cuenca even |
 |
| The ruins are very similar to the Inca ruins |
 |
| The Canari were indigenous to this area before the Incas came |
 |
| Lilies of the Fields... (two ladies in the center) |
 |
| A small building remains |
 |
| It is very small |
 |
| But what a view it has |
 |
| Anyone want to buy an old house with a view? |
 |
| At the summit these hummingbirds were chasing each other |
 |
| Looking down towards the ruins = south |
 |
| Looking down on Cojitambo town = north |
 |
| Then we walked up to the west peak |
 |
| This was on the way there |
 |
| I warned you, I took a lot of these. This is zoomed in |
 |
| This isn't zoomed in, looking towards Cuenca, over the dark ridge |
 |
| Great shapes at the ruins |
 |
| North again, over Cojitambo town and Azogues in the distance |
 |
| Mark getting set up at the edge of the cliff |
 |
| I know, enough already... |
 |
| Laundry day |
 |
| Looking to Azogues |
 |
| Raspberries |
 |
| OK, we are on our way down... |
 |
| Magnificent views on a great day |
 |
| Mark and Paul getting shots |
 |
| Another church way over there |
 |
| Agriculture all the way up the mountainside |
 |
| Young lady in Cojitambo town |
 |
| Breathtaking scenery |
 |
| Looking back at Cojitambo, see it is not all pointy |
 |
| Another country church |
 |
| This one was on the way in |
 |
| On the way in, getting closer |
 |
| Little creek is picturesque |
 |
| Church with a view |
