Spanish conquerors of Mexico and Peru during the 16th century?
Several Spanish conquerors (or, 'conquistadores') led Spain's campaigns of conquest in the American regions of Mexico and Peru in the 16th century. Foremost was Hernan Cortes (1485-1547), who was instrumental in the conquest of Mexico, although others would complete the work that he began. In Peru, it was Francisco Pizarro (d. 1541) who led the primary campaign that brought most of the region into Spanish control.
Because of how Peru is so poor then their houses wouldn't be as good as American houses. So saying that I would say Peru's houses are made out of stones or what ever they can find as "building blocks". The houses look old and dirty like a old run down building.
