No. The Spanish saw themselves as superior to Native Americans they met. They had two goals. One was to convert them to the Catholic Church ( priests were with them to do just that) and to steal any gold or treasure they may have. As a byproduct they also used them as slaves in mines.

Francisco Pizzaro was a Spanish conquistador. Raised in Spain, he was poor. When he heard of Cortes's success in conquering the Aztecs, an older Francisco Pizzaro went and conquered the Incan empire, which is now modern day Peru. He became very rich. He captured the Incan ruler, Atahualpa and demanded ransom for him. The Incans paid it. Pizzaro had superior weapons and the Inca were weakened bu European diseases. Thus, letting Pizzaro conquer them. Later, Pizarro was killed by a rival Spanish faction a few years later after he established the city of Lima.
Atahualpa was taken prisoner by Francisco Pizarro in 1533 (and killed).
The other major Incan road was called the "Inca Trail." This extensive network of roads connected various regions of the Inca Empire, facilitating trade, communication, and military movement. The Inca Trail is particularly famous for its route to Machu Picchu, showcasing the Incas' impressive engineering and organizational skills.
The Incan civilization did not use a conventional system of picture writing like hieroglyphics. Instead, they employed a system called quipu, which consisted of knotted strings to record information, such as census data and financial records. While quipu conveyed complex information, it was not a writing system in the traditional sense. The Incas relied on oral tradition for storytelling and history, with quipu serving as a supplementary method for record-keeping.

Spanish Conquistadors destroyed both civilizations.

Hernando Cortez conqured the Aztec Empire and Francisco Pizarro conqured the Incan Empire, who were both Spanish Conquistadors.

Aztec: Hernan cortes Incan: Francisco Pizarro
The defeats of the Aztec and Incan empires were similar in that both were significantly impacted by European diseases, which decimated their populations and weakened their societies before the arrival of Spanish conquistadors. Additionally, both empires faced overwhelming military force and advanced weaponry from the Spanish, including firearms and horses. However, they differed in their internal political dynamics, as the Incan Empire was further weakened by a recent civil war, while the Aztecs faced a more unified resistance against the Spanish. Furthermore, the strategic alliances formed by Hernán Cortés with discontented tribes played a crucial role in the Aztec defeat, while Francisco Pizarro exploited existing divisions within the Incan leadership.
The Incan ruler was killed and the Incan civilization eventually disappeared.
Atahualpa is one of the most familiar Incan leaders in my studies. This ruler was significant in that he was one who was taken in by the Spanish explorers putting trust in them therefore putting his people and the empire at risk.
