Por las Rutas del Qhapaq Ñan: El Rol de los Caminos en la Construcción de la Historia y Territorio Peruano

A groundbreaking analysis of the Qhapaq Ñan, the Andean Road System, challenges the prevailing narrative that the transition from pre-Hispanic to colonial Peru involved a complete restructuring of the Andean space. This study reveals significant continuity in the use of these roads across historical periods, despite the collapse of the Inca administrative system. By examining variations in routes and traces through a diacronic lens, researchers demonstrate how the Qhapaq Ñan persisted and influenced geopolitical and social organization from colonial times to contemporary Peru. The findings underscore the importance of considering continuities alongside changes when constructing Peruvian history, offering a more nuanced understanding of territorial evolution.
