The area in South America that is now called Colombia was inhabited by the Inca Native American Tribe. Later Spanish explorers made Spanish settlements there and conquered the Inca empire.
The group of people that ruled an empire in Peru directly before the arrival of Spanish explorers were the Incas. The Incan empire lasted from 1438 to 1533 with the arrival of the Spanish conquistadors.
Spanish explorers arrived in Colombia at the end of the 15th century. Before that time, indigenous tribes, including the Muisca and Tairona, had settled the area.
Before Spanish explorers came to the Americas, there were no horses, cattle, pigs, or diseases like smallpox. Additionally, there were also no European crops such as wheat, grapes, and sugar cane.
The Native American group that did not live in the northwest coast area before the arrival of European explorers were the Pueblo people. The Pueblo people are and were located in the Southwestern United States.

The Incas were weaked by the Civil War before the Spanish came.
Possibly that the lack of written records prior to the arrival of the Spanish means that any estimates of population are based on oral tradition, so unreliable?
They were seen unequal so the enslaved those fools
Assuming this question is asking about about trading items before the arrival of the Spaniards (or Cortes):The Aztec people did not have guns before the arrival of the Spaniards. Once the Spaniards arrived, the Aztecs traded their goods (gold, food, etc.) with the Spanish people for guns and gun powder.
Pre arrival (or pre-arrival) simply means before arrival.
Bogota was founded many years before the Spanish arrived there in 1537, which was nearly 500 years ago.
The Taíno originally inhabited Puerto Rico.
