Cusco, Perú

In the Apurimaq River Valley (a Quechua word that means 'God Speaks'), in the upper provinces of Cuzco, in the middle of two districts in the province of Canas, during three days, men and women from four farming communities use their hands to weave and build an incredible bridge, reviving ancient technologies and knowledge from our ancestral cultures.

Both the place and the bridge are named Qeswachaka (which comes from two Quechua words, Qeswa, which means rope from natural fiber, and Chaka, which means bridge).

The structure is primarily made from Ichu (a wild golden plant native to the Andean region). This fiber is cut and collected from the mountain hillsides by local villagers who slowly braid and weave it, gradually giving shape to the bridge.
