According to Inca mythology, Ayar Cachi (in Hispanicized spelling) or Ayar Kachi (kachi means salt in Quechua)[1][2] was one of the brothers of Manco Cápac, who emerged from the cave at Paqariq Tampu.
One legend tells that Ayar Cachi was very strong and was also very cruel to not only the natives they met along their journey to the Valley of Cuzco but also to his own people.
Manco Capac told Ayar Cachi that they had left important objects back at the windows they had originated out of and asked him to go get them.
The Incas sent Tampu-Chacay, who had been secretly ordered to kill Ayar Cachi, back to the windows with him.
In retaliation Ayar Cachi turned Tampu-Chacay to stone, but was unable to escape the trap set for him by the other Incas.
