The Qhapaq Ñan, 30,000 km of remote Inca trails, is the largest UNESCO World Heritage Site stretching from the Andes to the Amazon.

The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
Wow, and I thought 10.400km on Iron Curtain Trail is a lot :D
But are you sure it's 30k kms (and not 3000km)? That's almost the equator...
 
I would love to (be able to) do that, or part of it. The Inca trail doesn't appeal to me - too intense - but those wide open spaces in the photos are different.

I love walking in the Andes and the Qhapaq is one of my bucket list items.
