The Inca and their ancestors ate the tender meat of the Llama. However, they made it with moderation, since the flame was useful for other many jobs.

 
The corn was the  more important food. Together with potato, was the most important cultivation of the Andes. 


They ate in a very simple way.  

The main Inca temples dedicated to the cult of the Sun were built during the Inca empire.

 
In the Andean region everybody adored a diversity of sanctuaries and objects and to the natural force  associated to them, well-known as huacas


The Inca adored  the sun fundamentally so that it provided them abundant crops. It was a dominant force and a symbol of prestige and power. 

The women of the Andes received help, when they gave birth, from women that had had twins and from their neighbors. After the childbirth, the mother and the recently born one took a bath in the river. The umbilical cord was not thrown, but rather it was keeped in the house. 


The Inca considered important that a married couple had children.
