Inca Trail |
The roads varied in quality and size. In the
flatlands and highlands the roads ran from
6-8 meters wide, while in the steep
mountains the stone roads narrowed to one
meter, but were deft at defying the
aggressive steep slopes of the Andes.
The Inca Trail is the best-known stretch, a
road that 90% of trekkers take from
Kilometer 88 of the railway line to
Machupicchu. However, this is not the only
route there are others that take a day or
two to walk to areas near the valley, paths
that run through picturesque landscapes in
the area.
There are kilometers of ancient roads that
still exist. One of them is to be found on
the Cusco-Abancay route 3 km. from the town
of Arco. There is another near the community
of Qhorqa, approximately 20 km. West of
Cusco. The route from Juch`uy Qosqo, in the
province of Calca, features another Inca
road. Many of these roads were built so well
that they are still used today.
