Todos Santos Ruins & Museo Manuel Agustín Landívar
Museo Manuel Agustín Landívar
A small riverside site where Cañari, Inca and Spanish colonial structures are layered on top of one another, with an archaeological museum attached.
The Todos Santos site lies on the riverbank east of the Puente Roto (broken bridge). Visitors can see Cañari foundations, precise Inca stonework, and the mill and water channels first built by the Spanish, a miniature of Cuenca's layered history. The Manuel Agustín Landívar Museum displays artefacts excavated from the site. Entry is free or low-cost, and the museum is closed on Mondays. The site is small, and about 40 minutes is enough to see everything.
Opening hours
Approx. 08:00–17:00; closed Mondays (confirm on site)
