Pinagua

The Pinagua were a chiefdom east and southeast of Cusco, around Lake Lucre, and were closely bound to the Ayarmaca. Their chief seat was at Pikillaqta, an earlier Wari centre.

Around 1350, when Inca Roca overthrew the Hurin Cusco dynasty, the Pinagua leader Huaman Tupac joined the Muyna in a bid for independence. Defeated in the first battle, he disappeared; Inca Roca later conquered Pinagua. A further revolt under Viracocha Inca was crushed, and the lands passed into the Inca state.
