Towards centuries XIII and XV, when the regional states of this zone completely were formed and constituted, a contradiction between Chancas arises and the Incas of the Cusco, facing in prolonged battles. The Chancas initially was located between the Pampas river and the Pachachaca river. When expanding, they made of the area of Andahuaylas its main seat, this confederation was conformed by the Hancohuallus, the Utumsullas and the Urumarcas.
