Quimes

The Quimes were a Diaguita people of the Andean valleys of present-day Tucumán in northwestern Argentina. They resisted Inca expansion in the fifteenth century and later fought Spanish colonization during the Calchaquí Wars.

After their defeat in 1665, the Spanish forced the Quimes to march to a settlement near Buenos Aires; many died on the journey. The settlement was abandoned by 1810, and the present city of Quilmes grew near its site.
