I actually took a class called Spanish American Culture during the summer and it dealt with the meeting of the Spanish and indigenous worlds, so part of what we dealt with was the Incas. The Incas lived around the area what is now Peru, but a concept to keep in mind is that the Incas as a unified people existed for a very short period (around 100 years maybe) and what made them great is that they built upon the achievements of the peoples that came before them. The reason we refer to Incas is that they were the last to inhabit the area before the Spanish came.
Here is an interesting video about the Incas:

You can do it.
The Inca's ruled the land around the andes mountains, and pretty much most of the west coast of south america. No idea what the rest is though.
