Cuntisuyu

Also known as Kuntisuyu

Cuntisuyu was the south-western quarter of the Inca Empire, reaching from Cusco to the Pacific coast of southern Peru. It was one of the four suyus into which the Incas divided their realm, each governed by a high official. Like the others, it was divided into provinces, and its main road began at the central square of Cusco.
