Descripción
- On the Apurimac river, in the Cusco region at 3700 meters above sea level, you can observe an important Inca legacy that remains in force after more than 6 centuries. It is the Q’eswachaka bridge, a spectacular engineering work of 30 meters long, made of straw and stone, which is preserved to this day and in 2013 was designated as Intangible Heritage by Unesco.
- During the time of the Incas, the Quechua people elaborated hanging bridges of vegetable fibers to cross the rugged geography of the Andes Mountains and thus connect some communities with others. Q’eswachaka is the last Inca bridge “alive” today, which is renewed every year for its preservation.
