Road Work
Photograph by Gordon Wiltsie
To lead tourists toward the royal Inca center of Choquequirau, the Peruvian government commissioned a road through Vilcabamba's mostly vertical terrain. Workers used picks, shovels, and dynamite for the job. Their Inca predecessors built hundreds of miles of roads through the same territory 500 years ago, chiseling all the stone by hand.
