| SUMMARY | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| The Nacion Q´ero is considered by many historians to be the last Inca community, ever since historians Oscar Nunez del Prado, Efrain Morote and Mario Escobar made their first visit to la Nacion Q´ero in 1955, a date that became synonymous with the discovery of the last hereditary line of the Incas.
The ancestral customs and the names of the shaman have been preserved in the hierarchical structure that were attributed to Pachamama, Pampamesayoq and Altomesayoq, as well as their techniques of cultivation and iconography. Over the last few decades, historians and anthropologists have visited Q´ero, including the former first lady of Peru Elian Karld, who took an interest in learning more about the Nacion Q´ero and showing the world the last known Inca community.
In the imperial Inca city of Cusco, to be identified as a Q´ero was to be greeted with respect and reverence and invited to eat in your home, because of their important historical status.
