THE INCA TRAIL

The Incas built a vast network of roads to be able to communicate with the four regions of their huge empire. The network was know as Qhapaq Ñan ( the sovereing`s highway ) or Inca Road. It was built of stone pathways, suitable for the traffic of two or three people with a herd of llamas. River were crossed by hanging bridges and the steep slopes were conquered with stirways and ramps. There are remains of the Qhapaq Ñan throughout Perú that are still used to this day by local farmers and peasants.One of the most impresive and best preserved roads is the trail that links Cusco to Machupicchu.
