DESCRIPTION

Inca architecture reached levels of development that still surprise the whole world today.
A sample of this ingenuity still remains in the Cusco region. Almost 4 hours from the city, in the province of Canas, in the district of Quehue, is located the Q’eswachaca bridge, declared by UNESCO as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.

This Inca creation is used to cross the Apurimac River. The material used for this suspension bridge is ichu, a grass from the highest areas of the Andes. Every year, the inhabitants of the rural communities of Perccaro, Huinchiri, Ccollana and Qqewe get together to renovate its structure, given its age. The renovation of the bridge involves a ritual and festivity that lasts about four days, starting with the payment to the Apu Quinsallallawi in an ancestral ceremony.
