Step Back In Time at the Pumapungo Inca Ruins Cuenca Ecuador (Episode 31) (11/24/2018) - The Pumapungo Inca Ruins Cuenca Ecuador is one of Amelia's favorite places to visit.

On the day we filmed this video, it was so windy that my microphone didn't work well so most of the audio was unusable. Instead of an Inca history lesson, you get to enjoy the beauty of Pumapungo with some relaxing music....
