In the last years of the Spanish conquest of the Tahuantinsuyu, a remnant of the Inca state survived in the Vilcabamba area, a territory near Cusco protected by its geography and condition of jungle approach. This situation was worthy for it to remain as the last free and autonomous bastion of the Incas in the full exercise of their power where for a short period of time, they managed to interact and negotiate with colonial authorities that had not yet consolidated their power. They were times of great complexity and change. The events that occurred between 1571 and 1572, starting with the arrival of Viceroy Francisco de Toledo to Cusco, precipitated the fall of Vilcabamba. After the capture and execution of Tupa Amaru and the relocation of the population to the new settlement of San Francisco de la Victoria, founded by order of Toledo, nothing remained after which the idea of an Inca state could be reconstructed. However, it attracts attention how this geographical space was represented in the subsequent colonial cartography until the 18th century and how it was associated with a cardinal location (East relation to Cusco) that did not correspond to its physical reality (Northwest relationship). Based on the analysis of colonial maps found in the Central Archive of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Peru (MRE), this work seeks to reconsider the way we see them and to think over on the past understanding of the territory on which a symbolic scaffolding was built that endures to the present.
