I have always been fascinated by the idea of the Incan messengers running day and night across the Andes…how about a field trip to Peru?!

Definitely a good one to keep in the “dream trip” bag. Then, when you do make it, it’ll be all the sweeter.

Thanks so much for this information, BC, and for the YouTube link. That lower road on the cliff of Machu Picchu peak (the Puente Inca road) is so cool to look at. And to think that there’s actually another, even more precarious track ABOVE it…blows the mind.

Great Piece Hal. That discovery fires up my imagination. Still have never been to Machu Picchu.

The ‘new’ inca road will not be open to tourists. It is too high to be able to reach by conventional means, the team members had to use ropes and other climbing equipment to be able to reach it. So thankfully it will remain an archeological site.
For those of you who can understand Spanish, there is a good video where the team talks about the discovery.
