How did the Incas travel around their empire?
|
|
The Inca Empire stretched for nearly 4,000 kilometres along the west coast of South America. The Incas built a network of roads across their empire to transport goods, move troops, and send messages. The roads were made as straight as possible, but zigzagged up steep slopes. Bridges, hung from cables of twisted plant stems, were fixed across ravines and rivers. There were no wheeled vehicles, so most people walked. However, important officers were carried in litters (a type of chair carried on poles).
