Abstract

From the perspective that each Wamani is a sacred landscape, it is proposed that the route of Qhapaq Nan to the Chinchaysuyu served to re-connect a series of sacred landscapes with Cuzco, by implementing ritual circuits with Inca infrastructure, through the establishment of places for libation and commemoration, becoming all this route as an imperial circuit, consisting mainly of roads and ceremonial platforms Usno as marks of memory, associating the link of the ancestors of each local Wamani with the Inca sun worship. This route demarcated with Usnos, would have served to perform sequential libations with purposes of reaffirmation in the local memory of the imperial territorial domain, which in sum conformed a network that was integrating all Huacas of the Tawantinsuyu.
