Antisuyu (Quechua: anti lit. 'east', suyu lit. 'quadrant'; Spanish: Antisuyo)[1][2] was the eastern part of the Inca Empire which bordered on the modern-day Upper Amazon region which the Anti inhabited. Along with Chinchaysuyu, it was part of the Hanan Suyukuna or "upper quarters" of the empire,[3][4] constituting half of the Tahuantinsuyu, the "four parts bound together" that comprised the empire.[1]
Antis is a collective term for the many varied ethnic groups living in the Antisuyu such as the Asháninka or the Tsimané.
