2. 1563–1571Vilcabamba · CuscoAfter acceding, Titu Cusi continued to base himself at Vilcabamba, maintaining traditional Inca rule and dealing with Spanish missionaries and colonial officials. The rump state remained the most troublesome political challenge of colonial Peru in this decade, forcing the viceroyalty to repeatedly weigh military conquest against negotiation.
3. 1565–1569Around Cusco · CuscoIn the later 1560s, border conflicts and raids between Vilcabamba and the Viceroyalty of Peru occurred intermittently. The colonial authorities strengthened the garrison at Cusco and restricted trade with the rump state, building pressure toward Viceroy Toledo's final military conquest in the 1570s.
