In the time of the Incas there was a large network of roads and one mainly called Qhapaq Ñan, these linked the territories of the Inca Empire to cross the rugged geography of the Andes, Hanging Bridges made of plant fibers were built, this complex technology has been passed from generation to generation and there is a unique bridge that has been renewed annually until today for over 500 years linking the past with the future; Located on the Apurimac River at 3700 meters above sea level, is Q’eswachaka the last Inca Hanging Bridge, where every year more than 1000 people from four communities gather to renew their structures, this ancestral ritual was recognized in 2013 by UNESCO as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
Crossing it is like going back in time.
