The causeway being made, the Ynca Mayfa Ccapac passed over it, and entered a province called Allca, where many armed Indians came from all parts to defend the passage of some very rugged mountains and difficult passes on the road, which, even in peaceful times, are such as to excite terror and apprehension. How much more so when they have to be crossed in the face of an opposing enemy! The Ynca led his army into the passes with so much prudence, forethought, and military skill, that although the enemy defended them, and people were killed on either side, he continued to gain ground on his opponents. When the enemy saw that they could not hold their own in such a position as they had chosen, but were being forced back day by day, they said that the Yncas must indeed be children of the Sun, for that they seemed to be invincible. In this vain belief (although they had resisted for more than two months) the whole province, with one accord, received the king as lord over them, promising him the fidelity of loyal vassals.

The Ynca entered the principal town, called Allca, in great triumph, and passed onward to other great provinces called Taurisma, Cota-huasi, Puma-tampu, and Parihuanaccocha, which means the lake of the flamingos. For in an uninhabited part of that province there is a great lake, called ccocha in the Ynca language, and parihuana is the name for those birds which in Spain are called flamingos.
