The Chancas were an ethnos that had settled in the Ayacucho area. They were divided into the Hanan (upper) and Hurin (lower) sections, and claimed to have their origin or pacarina in the two lakes of Choclococha and Urcococha. They were a warlike people, and having conquered Andahuaylillas, their new objective was Cusco.

chachapoyas-The architectural model of the Chachapoyas is characterized by circular stone constructions as well as raised platforms constructed on slopes. Their walls were sometimes decorated with symbolic figures. Some structures such as the monumental fortress of Kuelap and the ruins of Cerro Olán are prime examples of this architectural style.
Chachapoyan constructions may date to the 9th or 10th century; this architectural tradition still thrived at the time of the arrival of the Spanish until the latter part of the 16th century. To be sure, the Incas introduced their own style after conquering the Chachapoyas, such as in the case of the ruins of Cochabamba in the district of Leimebamba.
The presence of two funeral patterns is also typical of the Chachapoyas culture. One is represented by sarcophagi, placed vertically and located in caves that were excavated at the highest point of precipices. The other funeral pattern was groups of mausoleums constructed like tiny houses located in caves worked into cliffs.
Chachapoyan handmade ceramics did not reach the technological level of the Mochica or Nazca cultures. Their small pitchers are frequently decorated by cordoned motifs. As for textile art, clothes were generally colored in red. A monumental textile from the precincts of Pajáten had been painted with figures of birds. The Chachapoyas also used to paint their walls, as an extant sample in San Antonio, province of Luya, reveals. These walls represent stages of a ritual dance of couples holding hands.

chachapoyas - the defensive fortress of Kuelap. Perched on the shoulder of a 10,000-foot mountain, this 9th Century citadel comprises an urban complex of more than 400 stone edifices - homes, palaces and temples enclosed by a 70-foot-tall stone wall

incas - The Inca Trail is the fantastic ancient trail leading to one of the natural, cultural and historical wonders of the world. Sometimes paved with stones and sometimes cut directly into the steep mountain slopes, it winds its way to reach Macchu Picchu, the old religious site of the Inca Indians.Five hundred years ago it was an important link between the fertile valleys around Cuzco and Macchu Picchu. Today, it is still a great attraction for visitors from all over the world.

mayans- Tikal was one of the major cultural and population centers of the Maya civilization. Though monumental architecture at the site dates to the 4th century BC, Tikal reached its apogee during the Classic Period, ca. 200 AD to 850 AD, during which time the site dominated the Maya region politically, economically, and militarily while interacting with areas throughout Mesoamerica, such as central Mexican center of Teotihuacan

Aztecs - sacrificial altars, they were used to make sacrifices to the gods for favors or appreciation for events or blessings. They sacrifice kids for big favors or to renew a blessing.
