Cuenca Day Trip to Cañar: Dairy, Cascaritas + Ingapirca | ECUADOR

[@ayngelina]

[@bodvargregersen5161]

Throughly enjoyed the video of your Ingapirca Tour. It was fantastic! I loved your narration of the entire history of the Canari and Inca people as well as showing us the beautiful landscape.. The discourse of the local foods was appetizing too.

[@ayngelina]

You know there will always be food but I also wanted to share this history that I think is so interesting.

[@Chaserkeywest]

❤ great stuff as always….see you September

[@ayngelina]

September is beautiful in Ecuador, you'll love it!

[@Fujitahomaxi]

Your content has always been good, but these past few months have been particularly excellent. Keep up the amazing work!

[@ayngelina]

Thank you so much. I've been experimenting with content and trying to improve the storytelling.

[@briantravelman]

Finally, my long overdue Inca ruins. Nice to learn about the Canary people too.

[@ayngelina]

Super interesting history here and few people know about it

[@StephEatsnTravels]

I loved learning about the Cañar people!! Sucks to see how much damage was done. I'm glad anthropologists are studying this region more.

[@ayngelina]

What I didn't share was also that when the Spanish came they decided to help them get rid of the Inca, so they were there forty years and the Cañari had enough.

[@pedroblanco8311]

We enjoyed this video! Once again, we thank you for your thoughtfulness in making your videos multi-lingual friendly. Being able to read the subtitles in Spanish, is a huge help for our language dynamic. We realize it takes extra effort and time to upload a text file with your videos. Are you aware of any other KZbinrs specific to Latin America who are putting in this attention to detail? If you keep putting together dazzling diverse videos like what we've seen in the past few months, your channel is going to get so busy, you may have to hire more than just an editor. You're really setting the bar much higher than it's been previously, and you're making the world a better place. We thank you!

[@ayngelina]

Thank you for recognizing this. Tomorrow's video is 45 minutes and it took me over 2 hours to transcribe so I could translate properly. I don't know of other KZbinrs that do this, although I have mentioned it to a few but they rely on auto captions. The problem is that for some reason KZbin is terrible at the auto captions when Facebook is not? But also I have lots of friends who don't speak or understand English so I guess I'm more aware that I want to be more accessible. The translation and timing aren't perfect but they are better than if I didn't do this

[@pedroblanco8311]

@@ayngelina I recall you stating the 1st Q&A took you 3 hours to transcribe. At the moment, I also don't know of any other KZbinrs doing this. Again, we feel this is one of several things you do which separate you from the crowd. I didn't receive an alert. Is tomorrow's video being premiered?

[@ayngelina]

@@pedroblanco8311 Yes I just need to finish the translations but it will be live at 12:45pm

[@ayngelina]

Oh I'm so glad you're enjoying it!

[@JF-vo3ck]

Thanks so much for another amazing video! Love all the historical explanations! Can't wait to go to Ingapirca and stop at those places to eat. I also eat yogurt nearly daily when I'm in Ecuador, haven't gotten sick yet! Yum!!

[@ayngelina]

Make sure you get a guide. What I didn't share was that when the Spanish arrived the Cañari helped them against the Inca. They are fierce people!

[@elgringoec]

I like to get those big jugs of yogur there and carry them around with me in place of a water bottle. It's more like what people in the states call kefir than what's called yogurt. Wish I could remember the brand I preferred. The flavor I liked best was mora. Gut healthy. I never got sick from food there either and we got plenty of stuff from street vendors.

Still venturing out to eat ecuadotian food. I had bolon yesterday!!😋😋 and Chame- sweet water fish!! WOW!! In a little town called Tosagua!! Again outside of Manta. Another little fishing village 15min from Manta is Jaramijo!! I will be trying the fresh ceviche there soon!!😋😋

[@leonardomera121]

Angelina & Andres!.Thank you guys for this video.Angelina thank you for the full information that you give us.So much information.You guys have visited so many places in ecuador,but i ve noticed that you guys probably did not have the chance to go yet to one of the most beautiful events in ecuador.I m talking about the "florecimiento de los guayacanes".That happens in the province of loja specificly in mangahurco y casaderos.It happens at the end of the year or january,depends of when the firs rains come to the zone.The bad news is that it only lasts five or sixs days until the flowers start to fall.Get more information about it.It s a beautiful event.Bye good luck.

[@ayngelina]

It was on our list! Unfortunately I was dealing with digital nomad visa issues (video coming soon) and I missed it. But I'm hoping to catch the next one as I'd love to get back to Loja to eat the ceviche de carne and chivo al hueco.

[@johannagranda5734]

Sería chevere que en Ecuador para promover mejor el turismo hicieran combos de viaje sobre todas las ruinas que tenemos, es decir entre Cañar y Azuay existen varias ruinas que pueden ser visitadas y hoy en día son muy muy poco conocidas, por lo que el recorrido comenzaría con ingapirca y luego las demás ruinas cercas que están por allí, igual sería en el norte andino del país donde se encuentran las pirámides y otras ruinas incas cerca de quito! Lastima que los encargados de eso no propongan ese tipo de ideas! :/ Por cierto muy buen video, me dio hambre ese desayuno e ingapirca muy lindo como siempre!

[@ayngelina]

Tienes razón como siempre Johanna y gracias 💜

[@timdebruler630]

your meal was right up your alley. LOVE PORK !

[@ayngelina]

So many different pork options too

[@williamsjara1]

Great video. I was there more than 35 years ago, there is a lot of changes. thanks again.

[@ayngelina]

I can only imagine how different things are.

[@tricepilot]

I stopped by Ingapirca on the motorcycle trip! That's also where I was introduced to hornados!!

[@ayngelina]

Oh you were definitely in the right region for pork. Did you try the cascaritas blow torched skin?

[@elgringoec]

It looks so different in your video from how I remember it. I never saw an entrance gate, we didn't pay, and it was practically deserted. It didn't seem as expansive. We drove right up and parked at the edge. I took pictures of my daughter hugging a llama or alpaca which was running around loose there. I'll have to look for those pictures. Great video!

[@ayngelina]

I went in 2013 and it was also very different and I don't think as popular. Now a bus goes out here to make it more accessible.

[@elgringoec]

@@ayngelina I guess that's good. 🤔

[@ayngelina]

@@elgringoec for more people to learn and to give people jobs to work its a good thing. The price is so low its still accessible.

[@elgringoec]

@@ayngelina Yeah I get it... The downside is crowding and commercialism of history. Everything's a trade-off.

[@ayngelina]

@@elgringoec as they haven't done a great job with preservation I do see it as a bonus here as it could mesn other sites are better preserved as well. But the commercialization is pretty low key as I doubt it can ever become a huge site like you see in Perú.

This was a great video today! The pork looked really good. Was the yogurt warm or do they chill it?

[@ayngelina]

Oh it's chilled.

[@johannagranda5734]

No se si lo conozcas pero hace poco me vi un documental de history channel que me dejó con la boca abierta y son las ruinas de puma punku, en Bolivia, tienes que ver sus construcciones son tan tan perfectas que hoy en día no entienden como llegaron hacerlo y no entienden que mismo era ese lugar, todo son conjeturas y rumores de lo podía ser pero nada es certero, es un lugar que guarda mucho misterio y muchos hasta dicen que fueron aliens que lo construyeron ya que existen caras talladas de ellos y caras de otros lados del mundo! Es increíble en serio! Si alguna vez viajas a Bolivia te recomiendo mucho que visites ese lugar aunque claro también existen varias ruinas incas pero ese específicamente el que te digo es el que más me llamó la atención!

[@ayngelina]

Voy a ver online!

[@silvanavelasco1147]

Muy hermoso 💕🖐️🙏 Hay parte de la historia que se debe indicar el imperio Inca de Atahualpa es Ecuatoriano porque el nació aquí en Imbabura y se separó del imperio Inca peruano de Huáscar fueron dos hermanos disgustados y luego los españoles con los indígenas de aquí de Ecuador exterminaron a los incas por eso hay muy pocas ruinas y se instauró la religión católica fuertemente por eso las iglesias incluso en palacio de Carondelet se dice está construido sobre ruinas incas

[@elgringoec]

Interesante! Dios sobre todo.

[@ayngelina]

Claro tienes razón. Andrés me dijo eso pero dije que esta video es una advance y si las personas quieren un tour por todo esta historia es posible 😊

[@estelamino6356]

Hello..to both of u.. so Incarpirca it's in GALAPAGOS..or in CUENCA. THANKS for all u if..

[@ayngelina]

It's just outside Cuenca

[@petemitchel7256]

May I ask, how much was the breakfast and the roundtrip day adventure? Thank you.

[@ayngelina]

The breakfast was a few dollars. For a private tour it's 75 but Andres usually hosts groups of four or more and that is $50/person that includes transportation, guide, Ingapirca as well as nearby attractions.

[@amul7430]

Nice video. You said during the video that the Cañari people still exist today. I am taking it that the Canãri live in Cañar?? Is there a way to tell how today's Cañari dress, and practice their culture? BTW, I haven't tasted Cuenca's 'good' bread yet.

[@ayngelina]

Yes different Indigenous groups in Ecuador wear different traditional dress. As an outside it may seem all the same but an easy tell is the style of hat. Cañaris have a bowler style hat. Also in a couple weeks I have a video that shares where to get bread made in a wood fired oven in Cuenca.

[@timdebruler630]

Thanks now I am hungry LOL

[@ayngelina]

That's the biggest compliment!

[@RebeccaStropoli]

I am curious, who is the "we" in these videos? Are you there with a partner? I lived there alone (single) and I don't drive anymore (live in NYC), so I had to hire guides for all the day trips that required cars.

[@ayngelina]

I'm traveling with my friend Andrés who is a national guide. I've previously been to Ecuador four times and traveled solo and in buses. But with the pandemic I didn't want to spend so much time on a bus. And as Andrés wasn't working as much and has a car I hired him to work with me.

[@asiiazonwholesaleonly20]

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@ayngelina]

Thank you!

[@larrypicard8802]

Some of the farmers in the area would take stones from Ingapirca to build walls for their farms.

[@ayngelina]

They are huge and heavy, I can't imagine trying to transport them.

[@force10jc]

I've spent a lot of time researching (for a layman) whether there is a connection between ancient cultures and alien visitation. There is a lot of evidence that either ancient cultures were more technologically advanced than mainstream science gives them credit, or they had help from someone unknown. While I feel that help from races from outside our planet is one possibility, I also believe there are other possibilities that have yet to be discovered. What I do believe is not debatable, is that main stream science/archaeology does not have an adequate explanation for many things discovered about ancient cultures.

[@johannagranda5734]

Te recomiendo que veas documentales sobre las ruinas de Puma Punku, en Bolivia, muy interesante

[@ayngelina]

You are absolutely right. Although I think the Medicis in Italy were also aliens. But I say this tongue in cheek and actually Andres said the same thing to me after I made this comment, that it's arrogant for us to think that these civilizations were somehow primitive and not capable of achieving great things.

[@force10jc]

@@ayngelina Yeah, some of the ancient "stuff" in Egypt, alobg with other areas in the Middle East, and the Americas is hard to explain.

What if you change “best” to “ Cuenca has very good bread” or any other adjective. Best, gives the impression of competition, or that you have tried every bread in every city…21 April, 2022…in the city chosen by God…Riobamba…

[@ayngelina]

But if I didn't say a place was known to have the best then Ecuadorians wouldn't be able to comment that I haven't had all bread 😊. It's never a competition, there are several regions in Ecuador known to have the best bread.

Lamentable que el estado Ecuatoriano no se preocupe por la historia hay ciudades escondidas entre matorrales y no apoyan para poder limpiarles y así atraer el turismo un ejemplo es las pirámides de cochasqui están llenas de tierra y monte, se necesita de profesiones para poder excavarlas y darle mantenimiento otra ciudad perdida está en los cerros hojas de jaboncillo la ciudad arquitectónica tiene 3500 hectáreas por descubrir entre la maleza
