YANAHUANCA
INCA TRAIL, THE IMPERIAL ROAD OF THE INCAS
( PART I )
GENERAL INFORMATION
In July, 1979, Dr. John Hyslop explored the Inca trail from south to north, from Chaupiguaranga (Yanahuanca) in Cerro de Pasco to Huanuco
Pampa (La Union) in Huanuco. There have been no publications since 1981 of accounts of exploration of the Inca road. So, taking this into consideration, the
Peru Travel Club and Inca Trails Explorations is preparing five different expeditions to valuate the roads of the northern part of Peru from Ayabaca in Piura to Yanahuanca in Cerro de Pasco in
Central Peru.
Representing Peru Travel Club and Incatrails Explorations, I am Miguel Chiri Valle, trek leader in the Cordillera Blanca, Huayhuash and the Inca roads. The purpose of the expedition is to find ways to make El Camino Real safe and attractive to tourists.
My investigation started with the maps of the Instituto Geografico Militar. They were very useful because they had the tracing of the previous trek on the maps. I found additional information in Royal Roads of the Incas by Victor W. Von Hagen, and the Cronicas de Pedro Cieza de Leon (1550). I also read The Inca Road System by Dr. John Hyslop and made an outline of his journey.
