Pachacuti, most innovative of all the Inca emperors, was the first to expand their traditional tribal territory.
Pachacuti, however, won a legendary victory - Inca chronicles record that the very stones of the battlefield rose up in his defence - and, having vanquished the most powerful force in the region, shortly took the Inca crown for himself.
At the same time the capital at Cusco was spectacularly developed, with the evacuation and destruction of all villages within a ten-kilometre radius, a massive programme of agricultural terracing (watched over by a skyline of agro-calendrical towers), and the construction of unrivalled palaces and temples.

Pachacuti Yupanqui, the first great Incan conqueror and the true founder of the Empire, had it completely rebuilt in the shape of a puma that was only visible from the air or from Saqsayhuaman, the temple fortress that protected the city.
Instead of Manco Capac (the first Inca, founder of the city at the start of the 11th century) being remembered as the leader of a tribe that arrived from Titicaca, he was now to be remembered as the Son of the Sun, sent by the Sun god to educate the world.
When Tupac Yupanqui (son of Pachacuti), tired of the wars with the Araucanos, saw that he could not defeat them (neither would the Spaniards), he decided to establish the southern frontier of his empire at the Maule River, in central Chile at about 2000 kilometers from his native Cusco.

Pachacuti was called by the British geographer-historian Sir Clements Markham “the greatest man that the aboriginal race of America has produced.” He and his son Topa Inca may be aptly compared to Philip and Alexander of Macedon.
Pachacuti was evidently a great civic planner as well; tradition ascribes to him the city plan of Cuzco as well as the erection of many of the massive masonry buildings that still awe visitors to this ancient capital.
It covered a little less than a century, from the accession of Pachacuti in 1438 to the conquest by Francisco Pizarro in 1532, and most of it was apparently accomplished by Pachacuti and Topa Inca in the 30 years between 1463 and 1493.
