The Incas were around at the same time as the Aztecs, but we know they never spoke to each other. The Incas had already mastered bronze by the time the Spanish came, while the Aztecs were just then figuring out that it could be useful. If the issue were decided by one pitched battle in neutral territory, the Aztecs have a chance, ONLY IF they adapt and abandon their strategy of capturing rather than killing. However, in any other circumstance invasion of either empire, war of attrition, multiple battles, diplomacy, etc.
The Incas were a civilization in South America formed by ethnic Quechua people also known as Amerindians. In AD they were a small highland tribe, one hundred years later in the early 16th century the Incas rose to conquer and control the largest empire ever seen in the Americas forming the great Inca Empire.
In short, the Maya came first, and settled in modern-day Mexico. Next came the Olmecs, who also settled Mexico. They were followed by the Inca in modern-day Peru, and finally the Aztecs, also in modern-day Mexico. It was but one part of the brutal nature of life in the Aztec empire, in which activities which would today be regarded as torture or self-mutilation were prevalent.
Some brutality was ritualistic, some was part of military training, and some was demonstrative, a presentation to others of courage and endurance. Do The Maya Still Exist? The majority of them live in Guatemala, which is home to Tikal National Park, the site of the ruins of the ancient city of Tikal.
Although the Maya were the most advanced pre-Columbian civilization in the hemisphere, they were never unified. Most modern-day Mexicans are of mixed Aztec and European ancestry.

When one of these gods shifts his burden, they believe, it causes an earthquake. The ancient Mayans, a group of people who lived throughout southern Mexico and Central America, used domesticated dogs on a daily basis as a food source, hunting aide, and an element in religious and spiritual rituals.

How were the Classical Mesoamerican civilizations of Olmec and Maya similar? What do the Olmecs Mayans Aztecs and Incas have in common?
What structures did both the Maya and the Olmec build? How were the Olmecs able to support a civilization? What type of impact did the Olmec civilization have? In many of their great city-states, temple-pyramids formed the center of public life and were the site of holy rituals, including human sacrifice. How did the Olmecs and Maya influence the Aztec civilization in similar ways? The Aztecs used Olmec styles for temples and the Mayan calendar for rituals conducted in them.
The Maya influence was more direct than that of the Olmecs because the Maya civilization thrived only a few hundred years before the Aztecs. The Olmecs were the first complex civilization in Mesoamerica.
They built the first ceremonial centers, developed a distinct culture, and traded with other peoples. The Olmec ball game, religious concepts, blood sacrifice, calendar, writing, and astronomy was later used and adapted by other Mesoamerican civilizations.
