Qhapaq Ñan / Inca Trail

Knots and encounters

Cultural Center La Moneda invites you to discover Qhapaq Ñan / Inca Trail. Knots and Encounters, an exhibition that commemorates the 10th anniversary of the recognition of this great Andean trail network of pre-Hispanic origin as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, which was the backbone of the political and economic power of the Tawantinsuyu or Inca civilization.

With the support of UNESCO and in collaboration with Centro Nacional de Sitios del Patrimonio Mundial, Museo Chileno de Arte Precolombino, Asociación Intercultural de Pueblos Andinos Jach’a Marka, archaeologist Rubén Stehberg, contemporary artist Natalia Montoya, and animation studio digital LIV84, the exhibition proposes a physical and symbolic journey across Qhapac Ñan, through visual and sound records directed towards highlighting the importance of this network, a shared heritage between the Andean countries.

About Qhapaq Ñan

Qhapaq Ñan, or “main road” in Quechua, is the great Andean road network of pre-Hispanic origin that facilitated encounters between different communities and territories, and whose repercussions are still visible today. It spans approximately 30,000 kilometers and was built over several centuries by the Inca people, who utilized pre-existing infrastructure to facilitate communication, transportation, and trade. This extraordinary road network extends through one of the world’s most geographically contrasting regions: from the snow-capped Andean peaks at more than 6,000 meters altitude to the Pacific coast, passing through tropical forests, valleys, and deserts. The network reached its peak expansion in the 15th century, spanning the length and breadth of the Andean mountain range.
