The Inca road system, the main subject of this cultural exhibition, is the most extensive and advanced ancient transportation system in South America during the Inca period.

The cooperation between Chongqing and Peru in culture and tourism has vigorously developed in recent years. Chongqing promoted the broadcasting of some outstanding Chinese radio and TV works such as The Legend of Bruce Lee on the TV stations of Peru and other Latin American countries, the opening of The Loss of El Dorada – Andes Civilization Exhibition at Chongqing China Three Gorges Museum, and the displays of 157 cultural relics of 11 Peruvian archaeological museums in Chongqing.
