Cotapampa

Cotapampa was one of the highland provinces described by the chronicler Garcilaso de la Vega in the country west of Cuzco. He recounts how an Inca general entered Cotapampa and met its lord together with a kinsman, the lord of the neighboring Cotanera. Both were described as belonging to the Quechua nation, in a landscape of mountain valleys divided among local rulers.
