The
Chachapoyas, also called the
Warriors of the Clouds, was a culture of
Andean people living in the
cloud forests of the
Amazonas Region of present-day
Peru. The
Incas conquered their civilization shortly before the arrival of the
Spanish in Peru. When the Spanish arrived in Peru in the 16th century, the Chachapoyas were one of the many nations ruled by the
Inca Empire. Their incorporation into the Inca Empire had not been easy, due to their constant resistance to the Inca troops.
