This suspension Inca bridge, which is about 31 meters long and 1.25 meters wide, is made of Ichu, a vegetable fiber generally found in the Andean highlands. For this reason, its name translates from Quechua rope bridge.
According to its history, chroniclers, during the time of the Incas a wide network of roads and bridges linked the territories of ‘Tahuantinsuyo’.
In addition, they were built to move easily through the rough terrain of the geography of the Andes. The suspension bridges were made with vegetable fibers and with a special technique that gave them surprising resistance. Of these constructions, only the Qeshuachaca Bridge remains active.
