Best places of Adventure with trek to Qhapaq Ñan or royal road or Inca trail original to MachuPicchu, was the main artery of a profuse network of roads that was woven in the Andes in the days of the Inca Empire and that connected territories that today belong to six countries. This Inca trail expressed a way of conceiving and managing the territory that has undergone intense historical changes, but in parts, it keeps its value and functionality alive to this day. Its protection and conservation transcends the monumental and archaeological dimension and involves the management of the territory from a patrimonial and landscape conception to Machu Picchu. It is one of the greatest works of engineering and state power that very few cultures came to display in our pre-Columbian America in Cusco – Peru.
