Summary
A critical insight from this study is the pivotal role of documentary sources—housed in local, national, and international repositories—in reconstructing the historical narrative of Qhapaq Ñan, the Andean Road System. These sources provide invaluable data on its usage, abandonment, conservation challenges, cultural transformations, and landscape dynamics, enabling a multifaceted understanding essential for heritage preservation. The research employs a methodical analysis of archival materials to generate actionable insights, aiming to inform territorial planning, educational communication, and sustainable tourism strategies. By bridging historical documentation with contemporary conservation needs, the study offers a blueprint for integrating Qhapaq Ñan into broader patrimonial frameworks while ensuring its long-term protection.
