Peruso explains: Welcome to the Empire of the Incas!

"Hola kids, I'm Peruso, the smartest eight-year-old in the whole Inca Empire! Okay, maybe not the smartest, but definitely the funniest. Today I'm going to explain to you how things work with us. You probably think we all have llamas, gold and weird hats. Pff, totally boring! Well, the thing about the llamas is true. They're actually our cuddly toys, but also our 'taxis' - just without wheels because we haven't invented them yet. And then we have these temples that are so big you can almost touch the sky. But if you fall down... well, you fall pretty far. Ouch! We have kings who call themselves "Sapa Inka" - which means something like 'the guy who sorts everything out'. And if you think everything is sunshine and roses with us... nope, we also have rain, mud and the occasional mountain that explodes. But hey, no need to panic! We know how to do it all with a smile. Or at least with a quirky expression on your face. Oh, and if you ever come to Machu Picchu: This is our secret place. I mean, it was secret until now, when everyone knew about it. But anyway, I'll tell you more about it later. Come with me, I'll show you the coolest things the Incas invented. And if you're not careful, I'll tell you about the ghosts in the mist... Muhaha!"

We have kings who call themselves "Sapa Inka" - which means something like 'the guy who runs everything'. And if you think it's all sunshine and roses here... nope, we also have rain, mud and the occasional mountain that explodes. But hey, no need to panic! We know how to get through it all with a smile. Or at least a quirky expression on our faces.
