| | Ingapirca Inca ruins Ecuador archeology (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18) |
 | | This area, like other areas of Ecuador (provinces of Cañar, Azuay, and Loja), are characterized by a variety of soils, dioritic and porfidic igneous rocks, and volcanic groups which did not form tobas or layers of cangagua, such as what appears in the northern part of Ecuador. |
 | | Cañar province occupies a high basin surrounded by mountains which are the base for neighboring Azuay province's peaks and are the highest chain of mountains of the area, which also serves as the natural division of two different regions. |
 | | Geographically, Cañar boundaries are Azuay's highest peaks to the north, Curiquingue and Bueran tundras to the south and east, and the steep sides of the western mountains (Cordillera Occidental) to the west. |
