notes:
Ortiz, born in Spain in 1532, was a missionary to the Incas in Cuzco, Peru, until his martyrdom in 1571. Vilcapampa, or Vilcabamba, "the lost city of the Incas," from which the Inca led a rebellion against the Spanish until 1572, is probably Espíritu Pampa, an Inca city excavated in 1964. It has also been thought to be Machu Picchu.
