Quechua language and culture traditionally characterize the countryside and some cities of the Andean highlands, including the old Inca capital of Cusco in Peru, as well as Cochabamba in Bolivia, and Otavalo in Ecuador. "Jungle Quichua" people inhabit the rain forests and ranches of the western Amazon region, especially in Ecuador. Millions of Quechua families have migrated from the countryside to such national capitals as Lima, Peru, and Quito, Ecuador. Communities of Quechua origin have also sprung up in places like Washington D.C.; New York City; Madrid, Spain; and Amsterdam, Netherlands.
