Articulo : El Gran Camino del Contisuyo - Kuntisuyu Qhapaq Ñan - The Inka Road of Contisuyo ( Español - Ingles - Quechua )

Camino Real  del Contisuyo (Español)

La plaza Inka de Hauk’aypata (hoy Plaza de Armas), fue el centro de convergencia y divergencia de los cuatros caminos principales nombrados Qhapaq Ñan o Camino del Inka. La ciudad del cusco y la misma plaza fueron el “Ombligo del Mundo”. Estos caminos articularon e integraron el Tawantinsuyu o “Las cuatro partes del Mundo”, de la forma más eficiente. La plaza y los caminos Qhapaq Ñan, fueron los elementos importantes en la organización y sectorización de la ciudad Inka del Cusco y del Tawantinsuyu.

El Qhapaq Ñan Kuntisuyu se desplaza hacia la parte occidental de la ciudad del Cusco y desciende a la costa, cubriendo y  articulando poblados de los Condesuyus. Kuntisuyu comparado con los otros suyus del Tawantinsuyu era pequeño y el camino Qhapaq Ñan integraba territorios y poblados de la de la  parte occidental del Cusco, como “la ruta del pescado” y por información cronística sabemos que por este camino  “Qhapaq Ñan” el pescado fresco y otros productos marinos llegaban al Cusco en dos días. Los poblados del Kuntisuyu conformaban los Chilques, Masques, Chumbivilcas, Condecabanas, de los actuales territorios de Cusco, Arequipa, Moquegua y Tacna.

The Inka Road of Contisuyo  (English)

The Haukaypata Inka Plaza (nowadays Plaza de Armas) was the four main roads convergence and divergence center named Qhapaq Ñan or Inka Road. The Cusco City and the plaza itself were once the “navel of the world”. These roads articulated and integrated the “Tawantinsuyu” or “Four parts of the world” through the most efficient way. The plaza and the Qhapaq Ñan roads were important elements within the Tawantinsuyu organization and the Inka city sectors.

Qhapaq Ñan of the Kuntisuyu goes along the occidental part of Cusco and descends to the coast, covering and integrating the Condesuyus tows. The Kuntisuyu, compared with the other suyus of the Tawantinsuyu, was small and the Qhapaq Ñan Integrated these territories and towns from the coast and the sierra. These towns were important in cattle breeding, mining and fishing resources. Due to this last issue, the road was also known as the “Fish Route” and, based on chronicles information, it’s also known that through  this Qhapaq Ñan, fresh fish and other marine products arrived to Cusco in two days. The Kuntisuyu towns were the Chilques, Masques, Chumbivilcas, Condecabanas within the current territories of Cusco, Arequipa, Moquegua and Tacna.
