Step back in time and discover a living piece of Inca heritage
The Qeswachaka Bridge — the last remaining handwoven Inca suspension bridge — is rebuilt every year by four Quechua communities using ancestral techniques with braided grass ropes. This ritual is not only a practical renewal, but also a celebration of culture, cooperation, and identity.
