The administration fell and the Inca supply lines connecting the Inca social focuses were crushed. In this way, at some point around the catch of the city Cuzco by the Spaniards in the 1530s, the city fell into neglect. A couple people stayed behind, maintaining a strategic distance from undesirable guests that kept on coming after the disclosure of the Incas.
