Former Machu Picchu inhabitant (4)

I believe the answer is:

inca

(Other definitions for inca that I've seen before include "Ancient inhabitant of Peru" , "Ruler of an old empire centred on Cuzco" , "Andean culture" , "Pyramid builders" , "South American (historical)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
