In the region of Cusco in Peru, a unique centuries-old Incan tradition continues to this day. Each year during the second week of June, hundreds of locals gather to hand build a new Q’eswachaka bridge over the Apurímac River. The 124-foot-long rope bridge is meant to honor the Andean gods. Using only natural fibers and no small measure of dedication and teamwork, the community tears down the previous year’s bridge and constructs a new one in an epic three-day feat. Master builders Eleuterio Callo Tapia and Victoriano Arizapana took us through the process and even invited us to the ensuing celebration.
