The unexpected truth about the last Inca suspension bridge
About 500 years ago, the Incas expanded their territory in the Andes Mountains. Therefore, they built about 200 suspension bridges to serve the need to travel between rivers.
Keshwa Chaca suspension bridge.
Keshwa Chaca is the last remaining suspension bridge of the Incas. This bridge crosses the Apurimac River in Canas Province, Peru. Keshwa gets the Inca people braided from grass named Qoya . Keshwa Chaca suspension bridge is 36m long, crossing the river bed at a height of 67m.
Many people do not escape the surprise when they see firsthand the Keshwa Chaca suspension bridge made up of 5 big ropes braided from Qoya grass. Although woven from grass, this bridge is quite solid and safe, and is still used today.
Previously, Indians from Andahuaylas would have to pay for the Inca residents' Keshwa Chaca grass.
Instead of paying in cash, people often bring the grass of Qoya to pay for the Inca descendants. The reason is because every year, the Incas continue to weave new hundreds-year-old suspension bridges in the way their ancestors made with the grass. Therefore, the Inca Keshwa Chaca grass bridge is preserved by the descendants of the generation to this day.
