I As there are no large modern towns along the route the Inca Nani is one of the best preserved sections of the Inca roads network called Qhapaq, and ideal for those seeking to walk in the footsteps of Incan history. It is 140km long and links the departments of Ancash and Huánuco. Beginning at Huari in Konchukos valley at the bridge of Pomachaca crossing the river Mosna, it begins its ascent passing Castillo and Soledad de Tambo, containing the Inca ushnu at Pincos. This is a truncated pyramid with an opening that served as a ceremonial site.

The road passes numerous communities that have lived and used this route since ancestral times. At the village of San Lorenzo de Isco a good example of Polylepis forests can be seen and it is at this point that the Inca Trail splits in two.
The western road is the more accessible and climbs up from San Lorenzo de Isco on the west bank of the Vizcarra river before descending to the Huánuco Viejo bridge, the site of the original Incan bridge that survived up until a flood in 1980
