Topa Inca Yupanqui, the tenth
Sapa Inca of the
Inca Empire, extended the realm northward along the
Andes through modern
Ecuador, and developed a special fondness for the city of
Quito, which he rebuilt with architects from
Cuzco. During this time his father
Pachacuti reorganized the
Kingdom of Cuzco into the
Tahuantinsuyu, the "four provinces". He led extensive military conquests to extend the
Inca Empire across much of
South America, within the boundaries of the nations which are today called
Peru,
Bolivia,
Chile, and
Argentina. He became Inca in his turn upon his father's death in 1471, ruling until his own death in 1493. He conquered
Chimor, which occupied the northern coast of what is now
Peru, the largest remaining rival to the Incas.

Huayna Capac, the eleventh
Sapa Inca of the
Inca Empire, extended the Inca Empire significantly to the south into present-day
Chile and
Argentina and tried to annex territories towards the north, in what is now
Ecuador and southern
Colombia, founding cities like
Atuntaqui. Further north,
Huayna Capac's forces reached the Chinchipe River Basin but were pushed back by the
Shuar in 1527. The Inca Empire reached the height of its size and power under his rule, stretching over much of present-day
Bolivia,
Peru, Argentina, Chile, Ecuador and southwestern Colombia. The lands conquered in the north within Peru, Ecuador, and Colombia would form the province
Chinchay Suyu of the Inca Empire.
