The Incas built a network of at least 30,000 kilometers of main paved highways linking their principal population centers across what is now Peru, Ecuador, Bolivia, Chile, and Argentina. The best known stretch is now known as the Inca Trail to MachuPicchu. Hidden from the world until 1911, this Incan refuge in the mountains is breathtaking in every sense. Many sites are yet to be discovered and explored. Ancient Incan energy is ever-present.
