Chaski News


Chaski graphicWe named our newsletter after the renowned messengers of the Inca. Chaskis were each responsible for a section of trail estimated at 2 ½ miles, a route they knew so well they could run it barefoot on a starless night. Covering miles of Inca roadways daily, the swift Chaskis handled the intricate communications required to run the empire. Urgent messages, quipus knotted with vital information, or perhaps exotic foods from the jungle or the coast were passed from runner to runner, relayed from the far reaches of the kingdom to its hub in Cusco. This, then, is our way of relaying information to you.
