INTERVIEW Giancarlo Marcone Director of the Qhapaq Ñan programme By Rodrigo Cabrera Photos Programa Qhapaq Ñan Sede Nacional del Ministerio de Cultura THE QHAPAQ ÑAN PROGRAMME STARTED IN 2001 AND WAS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF WHAT IS NOW THE MINISTRY OF CULTURE. MOST OF THE WORK THAT WENT INTO THIS PROJECT INVOLVED THE IDENTIFICATION, RESEARCH, RECORDING, CONSERVATION AND RESTORATION OF THE NETWORK OF INCA ROADS THAT STILL EXISTS IN PERU. WE TALK TO ARCHAEOLOGIST GIANCARLO MARCONE, THE CURRENT DIRECTOR OF THE QHAPAQ ÑAN PROGRAMME, ABOUT WHAT IT MEANS TO MANAGE THIS VAST CULTURAL LEGACY, PART OF PERU'S AND THE WORLD'S HERITAGE AND AN IMMENSE TOURIST ATTRACTION FOR LOVERS OF TREKKING. What is the culture ministry’s view of managing the Inca roads making up Qhapaq Ñan? The roads criss-cross the entire country; it keeps us in contact with all of Peru and, therefore, should be at the service of the whole country. We’re working to create a product that can be used -by the public that is, and in the most inclusive way possible. We want a product for everyone who uses the road. From the original users, people who live near it and use it every day, who should not be disturbed by tourist use, to adventure tourists and those visitors who want to walk it just for fun. How is its tourist use designed? We want to generate multiple destinations with different levels on the route. This is where the concept of a cultural itinerary arises. The road becomes the axis to which tourist products are attached; the road is not the attraction as such, but the way in which the story is told. For example, on the Jauja-Pachacamac stretch the strategy is to gather what this section of the road tells us; initiatives, eco-tourist museums, cycle routes and so forth already exist. The idea is that the cultural itinerary defined by the road includes different cultural manifestations. This is what the project is aiming for: revealing the different voices and stories that exist along the road. Christian Declercq
