1459 BO/PE - Qhapaq Ñan, Andean Road System (2014)

This site is an extensive Inca communication, trade and defence network of roads covering 30,000 km. Constructed by the Incas over several centuries and partly based on pre-Inca infrastructure, this extraordinary network through one of the world’s most extreme geographical terrains linked the snow-capped peaks of the Andes – at an altitude of more than 6,000 m – to the coast, running through hot rainforests, fertile valleys and absolute deserts. It reached its maximum expansion in the 15th century, when it spread across the length and breadth of the Andes. The Qhapac Ñan, Andean Road System includes 273 component sites spread over more than 6,000 km that were selected to highlight the social, political, architectural and engineering achievements of the network, along with its associated infrastructure for trade, accommodation and storage, as well as sites of religious significance.

567 BO - Tiwanaku: Spiritual and Political Centre of the Tiwanaku Culture (2000)

Tiwanaku: Spiritual and Political Centre of the Tiwanaku Culture

The city of Tiwanaku, capital of a powerful pre-Hispanic empire that dominated a large area of the southern Andes and beyond, reached its apogee between 500 and 900 AD. Its monumental remains testify to the cultural and political significance of this civilisation, which is distinct from any of the other pre-Hispanic empires of the Americas.

蒂瓦纳科文化的精神和政治中心

蒂瓦纳科城(Tiwanaku)是古拉丁美洲印第安王国的首都,当时这一强大的帝国统治了南安第斯山脉及之外的广阔地区。公元500年至900年间,蒂瓦纳科城达到了鼎盛时期。这一地区的文明与美洲其他地方的古拉丁美洲帝国文明有所不同,其历史遗迹证明了这一文明在文化和政治上的重要性。
