Adentrarse en la cultura Inca es el viaje increíble que nos propone Patricia Temoche en este audio libro. Conocer la historia de los guerreros de los Andes y su rápida expansión a lo largo de la costa del Pacífico hasta que gobernó Ecuador, Perú, Bolivia, nordeste de Chile, noroeste de Argentina y sur de Colombia.

The Toltecs are one of the most mysterious and little understood of all the ancient cultures of Mesoamerica. This culture was venerated by later civilizations, such as the Aztecs. Even today, “Toltec knowledge” is used as a kind of shorthand for arcane wisdom from an ancient culture. However, discussing the actual history of the Toltecs is extremely difficult. Much of what we know of these people comes from writings and oral traditions of the Aztecs, as translated and interpreted by the European invaders.

The Toltec are one of the most famous Mesoamerican groups in South America, but they are also the most controversial and mysterious. The Toltec have been identified as the group that established a strong state centered in Tula (in present-day Mexico), and the Aztec claimed the Toltec as their cultural predecessors, so much so that the word Toltec comes from the Aztec's word Tōltēcatl, translated as artisan.
