The so-called "Camino Real" (Royal Road) connected by land the port of Buenos Aires with the port of Lima since the end of the 16th century, during the times of the Viceroyalty of Peru and the Viceroyalty of the Río de la Plata over a distance of more than 4,500 km. Some of the pre-Hispanic tracks and stretches of the Inca Trail were used for the route.
"Postas" were established on the side of the trail, as a place to change horses, but also to provide food and precarious lodging for travelers. Several of them later became villages.
