Karanki Geobiocultural Landscape

San Miguel de Ibarra, colonial, republican and contemporary, has its primordial matrix in the Karangue or Karanga of the Karas and in the Karanki Inka. It was there, in that ceremonial center later supplanted by churches, convents and squares, where the most legendary of all equatorial people of all times was born: the last Inka before the Hispanic invasion, the great Ataw Allpa: linker of worlds, son of Wayna Kápak and Pacha Kilago; conqueror of his half brother Waskar from Cuzco.

It is urgent to recover Ibarra - Karanki ancestral and millenary with all the ceremonial center and its totemic totemic imprints that supplant its colonial and republican buildings to make of it, a true Cultural Landscape of Humanity.
