The Chasquis (also Chaskis) were agile and highly-trained runners that delivered messages, royal delicacies such as fish and other objects throughout the Inca Empire, principally in the service of the Sapa Inca.
Chasquis were dispatched along thousands of miles, taking advantage of the vast Inca system of purpose-built roads and rope bridges in the Andes of Peru and Ecuador. On the coast of what is now Peru their route ran from Nazca to Tumbes. Chasqui routes also extended into further reaches of the empire into parts of what are now Colombia, Bolivia, Argentina and Chile.
Inca boys suitable to work as chasquis had to possess special qualities Quite apart from the ability to run very fast, boys had to have a very athletic physique and particularly good lungs to become a member of the courier-relay teams on which communications in the Empire depended.

The training of chasquis involved plenty of running, racing and scaling hills. Their legs had to be particularly strong and their toes, which were slightly splayed, needed to grip well on the uneven surfaces they covered.
The chasquis’ lungs needed to be developed by training so that they could breathe properly in the thin atmosphere of the Andes and take in sufficient oxygen to keep on running.
The chasquis carried messages knotted onto the string quipus which contained official records and other information along roads cut through the Andes Mountains, running at full speed for nine miles or more. They kept going for around 2.4 miles per hour at a stretch between one tampu (post station) and the next, which meant they had to keep up top speed for as long as fifteen minutes.
On reaching the tampu, the chasqui handed over his message to another courier who ran with it in his turn to the next tampu. Through this relay system, the chasquis could cover tremendous distances in a relatively short time. A message could be taken as far as 250 miles in a single day and would reach Cuzco, the Inca capital, from Quito (Ecuador) a distance of 1,250 miles in only five days.
Even the couriers of Ancient Rome, who were renowned for their speed over two thousand years ago and more, thought that one hundred miles a day was good going. The Inca chasquis moved four times as fast and not on straight roads like the Romans.

After gaining knowledge on who these amazing runners were, now are you up to the task of running this trail in order to deliver your message (signature) to the great leaders of the Inca Empire 
Your mission is simple yet, it will required a little of physical strength on your part to claim the smiley, this area is not “The Andes” and surely it does not smell like it either lol, but I did my best to try to give you a small taste of what a Chasqui would have to endure in order to deliver his message.
As beautiful as this land is, it also come with a few hidden dangers, such as snakes, very loose rocks, extreme heat conditions, wild dogs, ticks and very evil mosquitoes, make sure you plan accordingly to your adventure before testing your “Chasqui” skills.
Good luck and safe trails to all.
