In a day it could travel 150 miles
This system contributed to the success because it enabled the Incas to carry messages rapidly from one station to another, allowing information to travel up to 140 miles in a single day. This made life easier for them to live in the mountains.

The Incas trained men to become messengers. They were called Inca roadrunners and they delivered orders and communications from one end of the empire to the other. It is said that these trained roadrunners were so fast, they could travel up to 250 miles in a single day.
The Inca empire was centred in Cuzco in what is now Peru. Their empire is believed to have extended into parts of modern-day Colombia and Chile.
The Incas lived in the Andes Mountains in South America, primarily in present-day Peru, Ecuador, Bolivia, and parts of Chile and Argentina. Their capital city, Cusco, located in modern-day Peru, was the center of their empire.
The Incas were the first to use paved roads to carry verbal messages around the Empire. They did a relay type thing. One runner would go as far as he could then pass the message on to another runner and so on. They could cover 150 miles in a day. They also built a strong army and conquered lots of smaller civilizations. But they didn't dare attack the Aztecs, the only civilization stronger than them. Yes, they were cannibals, but they invented popcorn.
