Cojitambo

Cojitambo is an Inca and pre-Inca archaeological ruin, a popular rock climbing site, and a small village west of Azogues, capital of Canar province of Ecuador.

[3] The Cojitambo archaeological sits on a small flattened area on top of the cliffs.

Prior to the Inca invasion the Cañari probably consisted of a number of related, but politically independent, chiefdoms.

After their conquest the Incas instituted a major building program to integrate the Cañari into their empire.

They transported blocks of andesite to their northern capital of Tomebamba, modern day Cuenca.
