| Architecture and engineering of the Inca roads[edit] | WIKI |
| 137 component areas and 308 associated archaeological sites, covering 616.06 kilometers of the Qhapaq xc3x91an highlight the achievements of the Incas in architecture and engineering along with its associated infrastructure for trade, storage and accommodation as well as sites of religious significance. | UNESCO |
| The Qhapaq xc3x91an by its sheer scale and quality of the road, is a unique achievement of engineering skills in most varied geographical terrains, linking snow-capped mountain ranges of the Andes, at an altitude of more than 6,600 metres high, to the coast, running through hot rainforests, fertile valleys and absolute deserts. | UNESCO |
| It demonstrates mastery in engineering technology used to resolved myriad problems posed by the Andes variable landscape by means of variable road construction technologies, bridges, stairs, ditches and cobblestone pavings. | UNESCO |
| Criterion (iv): The Qhapaq xc3x91an, Andean Road System is an outstanding example of a type of technological ensemble which despite the most difficult geographical conditions created a continuous and functioning communication and trade system with exceptional technological and engineering skills in rural and remote settings. | UNESCO |
| The authenticity of the Qhapaq xc3x91an component sites is very high in that the characteristic features retain their form and design and the variety of specific well-preserved types of architectural and engineering achievements facilitate communication of the overall form and design of the network. | UNESCO |
