Very nice find mate Did a quick translate and it mentions an administrative or military use for the trail. Considering the tunnel, it wouldn't surprise me if it was used as a quick getaway/exit for the higher ups if they were overrun. Very cool.

I saw this in a dream several years ago! Call me crazy if you want, it was just like this and it took me to Machu Pichu. I felt ever so strange when I woke up.

In the middle of the video I spotted a monolithic stone that seemed to be cut very sharply to display a fine wall.
Not bad for hunter gatherer's .

Not bad for hunter gatherer's . Were finding tunes of stuff all around the world that is truly making what mainstream education has taught us completely false.and it has to change! So sad that our big machinery can't be brought around these parts to really get at the truth. If only the governments of these ancient places understand that big money and tourism can helped these countries thrive.

awesome find.. i love stuff like this... i believe there's plenty more still to be discovered.
The trail is about four kilometers long and leads to Machu Picchu area. Exciting news in my opinion, considering that this road is still there, after 500 years or more.
According to Oscar Montufar La Torre, resident archaeologist of the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu, the paved road has a width of 1.70 meters, and arrives at the archaeological site of K'antupata.
The new trail rejoins the traditional road by kilometer 33, between the joint archaeological and Wiñayhuayna Intipunku, just 3.7 kilometers away from the sanctuary of Machu Picchu.
Along the route there are retaining walls up to ten feet high, a tunnel of ten meters with 28 stairways, abutments of a bridge of five meters, drains, canals, stairways and balconies.
The new trail discovered, is four kilometers and 31 meters long and more than 3,600 meters above sea level, maintains its original characteristics by 70 percent, covered with moss and several species of orchids and ferns.
Adding now this link to the first video released, not the best quality but it helps :

Thanks Hans. You know, I wonder if this path can be a clue to reveal a way to Paititi.
