Where they haven't been destroyed by the Spanish or modern building activity, the Incan roads are still there today. Often they are still in use by pedestrians. They aren't much good for fast wheeled travel, but they are definitely better than the alternative of just striking out in the Andes - if you don't have anything bigger than big motorcycle.

In contrast to most Roman roads they do see pretty extreme weather regularly. Also they don't get much press coverage compared to the former.
