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.
