I think it's the Inca's.
The Inca Empire primarily encompassed present-day Peru, but it also extended into parts of several other countries in South America. These include Ecuador, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, and Argentina. The empire was the largest in pre-Columbian America, with a diverse geography that included coastal regions, highlands, and jungle areas.

Mexico, Paraguay, Argentina, Cuba, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Uruguay, Guatamala, Peru, Chile, El Salvador, and Bolivia once belonged to the Spanish Empire.
"Cuzco" in Quechua language means "navel" or "center." It refers to the city in Peru that was once the capital of the Inca Empire and considered the center of the Inca world.
Ecuador was once a colony of Spain.
The Spanish conquistadors treated the Inca Empire with extreme violence and brutality. After their arrival in the early 16th century, they exploited internal divisions and captured the Inca ruler Atahualpa, demanding a ransom in gold. Once the ransom was paid, the Spanish executed Atahualpa and launched a campaign of conquest, plundering Inca cities and decimating the population through warfare and introduced diseases. This led to the collapse of the Inca Empire and significant suffering for its people.
Scholars have examined the quipu records and have determined the Inca Empire was once between 16 and 32 million people. Spanish census in 1571 estimated a population of 6 million.
The decline of the Inca Empire can be traced to a combination of internal strife and external pressures. Civil war weakened the empire as factions vied for power following the death of Emperor Huayna Capac. Additionally, the arrival of Spanish conquistadors, led by Francisco Pizarro, exploited these divisions and brought devastating diseases, such as smallpox, that decimated the indigenous population. Together, these factors contributed to the rapid downfall of the once-mighty empire.
