Qeswachaka, the Last Inka Suspension Bridge

Shuffling the History
The bridge crosses the Apurimac River in Canas Province, Peru.  Â
The Great Inka Road was constructed to connect different terrains, including the Andes Mountains.
This suspension bridge is around 25,000 miles long, built to solve the problem and allow soldiers, messengers, and officials to cross and further expand their civilization safely.
The bridge played an essential role in the social history of the region and connecting isolated people.
When the Inka Empire collapsed, the bridge survived for centuries and served as a vital link in the Andean road system until the 20th century.
In short words, the Qeswachaka Inca Bridge is the only remaining example of the Incan hand woven bridge or road system. People from different countries and communities appreciate the beauty of this bridge. Unlike any other modern steel suspension bridge, this hand woven bridge was constructed using grass, thin ropes, which are again braided by the men in the most extensive support cable.
Over the last five hundred years, the bridge has experienced decaying, rebuilding, and destroying – but never fails to leave the Incan engineering testament. Earlier, this bridge was socially obligated under the Inca rule, but now it is preserved as an auspicious or historical piece in honour of Quehue, Peru.
For celebrating the bridge, the local communities of Quechua gather on Apurima...
