The Queswachaka Inka Bridge is a remarkable suspension bridge crafted from vegetable fibers, located in the district of Quehue, province of Canas, within the beautiful department of Cusco. This stunning Inca bridge spans the Apurímac River and is not only a marvel of ancient engineering but also a magical place steeped in history and culture.
Constructed using ancient Inca techniques that have been passed down through generations, the Queswachaka showcases the ingenuity and craftsmanship of the Inca civilization. Each year, three local communities—the Quehue, Huinchiri, and Chumbivilcas—come together to undertake its reconstruction. This spectacular and massive effort involves the entire community, highlighting their commitment to preserving their cultural heritage and ancestral traditions.
The process of rebuilding the Queswachaka is a vibrant celebration of community spirit and shared knowledge. Participants gather the necessary materials, such as ichu grass, and work together to weave and construct the bridge. This event is not just about maintaining a physical structure; it is also an opportunity for the communities to pass on their ancestral knowledge to younger generations, ensuring that these ancient techniques endure.
