SHORT Inca TRAIL PACHACUTEC TRAIL TO QUESWARANI: 2D1N

We recommend the city tour of Cusco Inca archaeological sites. Also the sacred valley of the Incas full day tour. 

The Inca road system was the most advanced and intricate transportation system in pre-Colombian South America. The network covered a territory of over 5,000,000 square kilometers with approximately 60,000 kilometers of primary and secondary trails. The most essential roadway was theCamino Real (Royal Road), which spanned 5,000 kilometers and traversed the Andes mountain ranges of Peru. Along this important trail, the Incas built countless religious retreats and military stations, in addition to multiple reststops and administrative areas. Only people on duty, or with the permission of the government, were able to travelover this critical route.

The most important Inca roads began at the sacred plaza of Aucaypata in Cusco (the capital of the Inca Empire). From here, the road network connected the four sides of theTawantinsuyu Empire.
