Inca Empire (Quechua language: Tawantinsuyu, meaning four parts together) (from 1438 – 1533)
Before the Inca empire, the Pre-Inca era, the trail network, already existed.
The Inca Trails – La red de caminos Inca (in the Incas language Quechua: Qhapaq Ñan).
The Inca empire was an empire that extended territorially throughout the Andes Mountain Range of South America. The Inca empire extended from Colombia to Ecuador to Bolivia to Peru to Chile and Argentina, from the north to south of South America. The center of the Inca establishment was located in Cusco in the Urubamba Valley of the Andes Mountains Range. It is located way up in the mountain, in the middle of the country of Peru.
These roads were the backbone network of the Inca empire, the Qhapaq Ñan ran along all the Inca empire (Tahuantinsuyu) throughout the Andes Mountain Range, from the west of Argentina all the way to Colombia.
During the that time, the Inca Empire, all the road network in South American connected to the city of Cusco. Although, all the roads (trails) that existed did not belong to the Inca trail network. During the Inca Empire, Brazil did not exist. There was a trail in the area of what nowadays is called Brazil, called the ¨Peabiru Trail¨ that connected the Andes Mountains with the Atlantic Ocean. More precisely, connected with the city of Cusco Peru, and maybe, it could have extended to the Pacific Ocean.
In 1524, Alexo García, a Portuguese shipwrecked person, walked and commanded an expedition through part of this trail. The expedition made up of Indigenous Guarani Carijos people, departed from Santa Catarina Island all the way through the Peruvian area of the Inca Empire, looting the gold, silver and tin. This expedition occurred nine years before the Spaniards invasion of the Andes, in 1533. Another story tells about Martim Afonso de Sousa, the founder of Saint Vincent Village, who was aware of the Peabiru Trail, that would take him to the Potosí Mines and eventually to the treasures of the Incas.
