The Incas lived in the Andes Mountains of South America, primarily in what is now Peru. Their empire was vast, stretching about 2,500 miles along the western coast of South America and covering parts of present-day Peru, Chile, Ecuador, Bolivia, and Argentina. Their capital was the city of Cuzco in the Peruvian Andes. The Inca Empire included diverse geographic regions such as mountains, coastal deserts, and parts of the Amazon jungle, with the Andes Mountains being central to their civilization and culture.
