city, north-central Ecuador, situated in an Andean valley at an elevation of 7,300 feet (2,200 metres), within the Ecuadoran Lake District.

Landmarks include Our Lady of Mercy shrine; the nearby ruins of Caranqui, where the last Inca emperor, Atahuallpa, was supposedly born; and Laguna de Yaguarcocha (“Lake of Blood”), named after a battle between Ibarra's inhabitants and the Incas, in which the slain were thrown into the lake. Ibarra is a Roman Catholic episcopal see. The Pan-American Highway passes through the city. Pop. (2001) 108,535.
