Legacy of the Incas (German: Das Vermächtnis des Inka) is a 1965 adventure film directed by Georg Marischka and starring Guy Madison, Rik Battaglia, and Heinz Erhardt.[1] It was made as a co-production between Bulgaria, Italy, Spain, and West Germany. It is based on the 1892 novel of the same name by Karl May, and was part of a boom in adaptations of the writer's work.[2]

Location shooting took place in Peru, Spain and Bulgaria. The film's sets were designed by the art director Saverio D'Eugenio.

Synopsis

In nineteenth century Peru, two envoys are sent by the government to negotiate with descendants of the Incas and other tribes to stave off a rebellion. Meanwhile, a bandit who killed an Inca priest several years prior seeks to exploit the unrest to his own advantage.
