HISTORY OF "INCA TRAILS" The “Inca Trail” is famous around the world, though the trail many tourists know is just a small sector of the thread of Inca paths that held this great empire together. The Inca Trail to Machu Picchu is part of an extensive Inca system of trails of more than 23, 000 kilometres that integrated the Tahuantinsuyo Empire (which means four regions) that covered Colombia, http://www.perucusitours.com/ the west of Brazil, Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia, to the centre of Chile and the north of Argentina. These trails tended to be principally on the coast or in the mountains but in a few cases they reached the tropical edge of the jungle.
