ABSTRACT

This chapter examines how Tupac Inca Yupanqui marched by the coast valleys, and how all the Yuncas came under his dominion. Tupac Inca, by his clemency, pardoned them, ordering that those who remained alive should continue the sowing of their lands, and should not again take up arms. The Inca's delegate remained in Chimu, and the rest of the valley sent their tribute to Caxamalca. The Inca marched through the remaining valleys in the best order possible, not permitting any injury whatever to be done, either in the towns or in the fields that he passed. The natives had plenty of provisions collected in the storehouses that had been built along the road. In this way the Inca advanced until he arrived at the valley of Pachacamac, where was the very ancient and sacred temple of the Yuncas, which he wished very much to see.
