The Spaniards did not wipe out the Incas. They are still there in Peru and Bolivia.
Years ago my husband and I found ourselves in the middle of a ceremony outside of an old church in Cuzco Peru. As we looked around we realized that there were no other gringos. Many of the celebrants were carrying masks of what looked like white conquistators and 16th century women. They were all drunk and probably stoned on coca. Then they began to shoot off fireworks in the crowd and I'm sure I heard gunfire. We were getting some very ugly looks so we siddled out of the sqare and went back to the part of town where the touristas belong. Very scary.
