The Quechua are Indigenous peoples of the Andes Mountains in South America, primarily in Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador, Colombia, Chile, and Argentina. They are descendants of ancient Andean populations, including those of the Inca empire. Today they are known for maintaining diverse cultural traditions, agricultural practices, and the Quechua language, which remains one of the most widely spoken Indigenous languages in the Americas.
