The Moyos Moyos or Mayos Mayos were a historical Indigenous people in Bolivia, Argentina, and Peru.
Historically, Spanish chroniclers contrasted the Moyos Moyos have with "civilized" Andean tribes, and they considered them to be warlike, savage and ignorant of agriculture.Oliveto, Lía Guillermina (2011). De mitmaqkuna incaicos en Tarija a reducidos en La Plata. Tras las huellas de los moyos moyos y su derrotero colonial. Anuario del Archivo y Bibliotecas Nacionales de Bolivia 17: pp. 463-490. There are historial records of Moyos Moyos in disparate regions of the former Inca Empire during its absorption into the Spanish Empire.
In the north, Moyos Moyos lived near the Inca capital of Cusco, to the east some Moyos Moyos inhabited the valleys of Cochabamba and Yamparáez and in the south there are mention of Moyos Moyos populations in Jujuy and Atacama Desert. Historian Barragán posits the Moyos Moyos are indigenous to Tarija Valley in southern Bolivia.Barragán, Mario E. (2016). La conquista Inca de Tarija
In 1596, the Moyos Moyos and Churumatas in Colpavilque (between Cochabamba and Yamparáez) rebelled against the Spanish.
