Know Camino de Inca

Camino del Inca is one of the main pre-inca culture vestiges in the country. It was baptized by Spanish explorers, because it was the commercial route in the Inca Empire. The path, nearby Inca de Oro town, used to connect Tawantisuyu to the Inca Empire. The path is 6,000 kilometers long and no more than one kilometer wide. The path goes through towns, oasis and production centers in the Atacama Desert. Camino del Inca can be visited all year long. There are some restrictions applied, because it is a protected area, an archaeological patrimony.
