A network of roads (qhapaq ñan) and waystations (tambos) were established in the eastern altiplano in order to connect the southern provinces with the Inca capital of Cuzco (Ruffino 1981).
We also know that large colonies of Carangas peoples were moved by the Inca to the valley of Cochabamba to cultivate maize for the Inca armies (Wachtel 1986).

 A Brief Introduction to the Inca Empire   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
The Inca Empire was actually quite short-lived, lastingonly about 100 years, from ca.1438AD, when the Inca ruler Pachacuti andhis army began conquering the neighbors of the Inca heartland of Cuzco,until the coming of the Spaniards in 1532.
In Quechua, the language of the Incas, the empire wasknown as Tawantinsuyu, which, loosely translated, means "land of thefour quarters." As the name implies, the realm was divided into fourparts, coming together at the capital of Cuzco: Chinchasuyu to the northwest,Condesuyu to the southwest, Antisuyu to the northeast, and Collasuyu tothe southeast.
Within the four quarters, the Incas ruled over people whohad formerly composed hundreds of independent societies, representing dozensof different ethnic groups and perhaps as many different languages.
