In the time of the Incas there was a large network of roads and one mainly called Qhapaq Ñan, these united the territories of the Inca Empire to cross the rugged geography of the Andes, Hanging Bridges made of plant fibers were built, this complex technology has been transmitted from generation to generation and there is a single bridge that has been renewed annually to this day for more than 500 years uniting the past with the future; Located on the Apurimac River at 3700 meters above sea level, Q’eswachaka is the last Inca Suspension Bridge, where each year more than 1000 people from four communities gather to renew their structures, this ancestral ritual was recognized in the year 2013 by UNESCO as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
