The Spanish conquistador marched to the Inca capital Cusco in regalia, but claimed the Spaniards were restrained in their show of triumph compared to the Incas. “There is no celebration like when the Inca warriors came back from battle. They enter the city of Cusco screaming their victory and the entire city stops. The citizens honour the warriors, offering them food, drink and taking care of their wounds,” he wrote.
