The Carangas region was part of the vast Inca quarter of Collasuyu, which included present day Bolivia, Chile, and Northwest Argentina.
A network of roads (qhapaq ñan) and waystations (tambos) were established in the eastern altiplano in order to connect the southern provinces with the Inca capital of Cuzco (Ruffino 1981).
We also know that large colonies of Carangas peoples were moved by the Inca to the valley of Cochabamba to cultivate maize for the Inca armies (Wachtel 1986).
