I have watched this video about the bridge at Q’eswachaka a few times. I find the twisting of the grass, the braiding of the ropes, the calloused feet holding ropes in places, the ancient costumes, the sense of community and the joyful completion of hard work compelling.
The centuries-old tradition builds a bridge between communities on both sides of the Apurimac River in Peru—and between generations together, one after another.
What centuries-old traditions bridge your communities and your generations?
That is so remarkable! If I had a bucket list I would add “crossing the Q’eswachaka Bridge” to my list. That’s for sure. Thanks for the neat video, Arlene
Machu Picchu is on my list of “places I want to visit.” I could add this to the list for the same trip.
