Hatun Kañar

Hatun Kañar was a Cañari center in the southern highlands of present-day Ecuador, near Ingapirca. The Cañari resisted Inca expansion before their conquest in the early 16th century. At Ingapirca the Incas built a complex that served as a fortress and storehouse for troops traveling north. In 1739 Charles Marie de La Condamine visited and described its ruins.
