The development of transport systems has always been a priority to be able to connect people with market places and to reduce the cost of transporting individuals and loads. This article is solely concerned with the rural sector and its roads (“country lanes” and “bridle paths”) that are not meant for motor vehicles but for transporting people and loads on animals. As such, we will give priority to the institutional features of the Peruvian model for the development of country roads: an issue that is very important in a country that has signed the peace process, that is, if Colombia wants to achieve the objectives proposed for the post-conflict era. A full article should be devoted to the experience with bridle paths; however, the topic will be touched upon in parts of this article.
