Qhapaq Ñan Itinerario Cultural Inscrito en la Lista del Patrimonio Mundial, Retos y Perspectivas

The Qhapaq Ñan, an extensive Andean road system spanning six South American countries, was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site through collaborative efforts. This recognition underscores its archaeological and anthropological significance, revealing it as a monumental pre-Columbian network. The study highlights the challenges and opportunities arising from this status, emphasizing the need for robust international management systems that integrate local communities to balance social benefits with conservation goals. Focusing on Peru, the research advocates for a coordinated approach to mitigate negative impacts while fulfilling UNESCO commitments. Practical applications are demonstrated through initiatives like the Huánuco Pampa–Huamachuco project, which implements these strategies effectively.
