The Pumapungo Central Bank Museum, otherwise known as the Door of the Puma, is the only archaeological site located within the urban district of Cuenca. This ancient Cañari and Inca settlement, which was later dismantled by the Spanish conquistadors to build their new city, houses a large collection of ethnographic items from the region.
Ingapirca – an important remnant of a Cañari site later occupied by the Incas – is a unique example of the cultural richness that prevailed in the country before the arrival of the Spanish. The archaeological complex includes the Temple of the Sun, Temple of the Moon or Pilaloma, the Inca Trail, workshops (to make chicha, a ceremonial drink), Kallankas, stone cemetery and Acllawasis (House of the Virgins).
