Detail of Tour:
DEPARTURES: Consult Spaces
DURATION: 2 days and 1 nights.
FREQUENCY: The Whole Year.
TYPE: Cultural, Ecological and Adventure.
The Inca Empire, called Tawantinsuyu, went from the present Ecuador
as far as the present Chile. Its capital was Cuzco, which means Center
of the World (the Inca World). According to the Spanish in the 16th
century, the Incas were the most organized society in the world. This
empire had an enormous infrastructure but very well organized.
Communications were organized as well, thanks to transport ways but also
to messengers (chasquis) who covered the territory. They transmitted
information or commands and transported merchandise. As an anecdote, we
can mention for example that the Inca, in Cuzco (in the middle of the
Andes) could eat fresh fish 3 hours after fishing it at the sea, while
the Spanish needed 2 weeks by horse to go from the coast to the capital
of the Empire, Cuzco. The "Descendant of the Sun" deserved it!
The existence of Machu Picchu is still subject to controversies. Was it
a residence of the Inca or a shelter? Was it a fortress or even the
famous "El Dorado"? The fact remains that the access from the Capital
was also well organized; it is the famous Inca Trail.
