Vilcabamba: The Last Refuge of the Inca Kings tells the story of Vilcabamba, the last refuge of the Inca kings. After the Spanish conquest of Cusco, the Inca retreated to Vilcabamba, where they established a new capital and continued to resist the Spanish for decades.

Vilcabamba was a formidable fortress, located high in the Andes Mountains. The Inca built a series of terraces and fortifications to protect the city, and they also used the surrounding terrain to their advantage. The Spanish were unable to conquer Vilcabamba by force, and they were forced to resort to a siege.

The siege of Vilcabamba lasted for several years, and the Inca suffered greatly from hunger and disease. However, they refused to surrender, and they continued to fight for their independence. In the end, the Spanish were able to defeat the Inca, but only after a long and bloody struggle.
