Qeswachaka Bridge – Cusco, Peru

One look at the Qeswachaka bridge in Peru and you wonder who would ever want to cross the monstrosity. The bridge is an important part of Peru’s national heritage given that it is the last of such structures to have been constructed with Inca rope. Historians say that the Inca would put up such rope suspensions to allow them to cross into new regions and conquer more territories. While a modern bridge is in close proximity, locals still prefer to dangle precariously over the Apurimac River on the ancient suspension. The city of Cusco doesn’t have to worry because sponsors donate money to keep the bridge in top shape.
