Frequently asked
What was the Inca runner relay system called?

How fast could Inca runners deliver messages across the empire?
Inca runners could deliver messages from Cusco to Quito (about 1,200 miles) in just 5 days! This was faster than Spanish horses centuries later, thanks to their relay system and intimate knowledge of mountain paths.
