Hundreds of years ago, when there are no modern vehicles, the residents of the ancient Inca kingdom had to find ways to bridge from braided grass to move between the Andes. To date there are still a hundred year old bridge grass people used and new braided annually.
Under the ancient Inca kingdom, residents Peru has never known or steel wheels, so to move between the peaks in the Andes, they have devised a bridge from grass braided Ichu.
Now, to preserve the only bridge left grass, the ancient Incan descendants still new braided annual demand. In each such restoration, each family will have braided rope 70m Ichu grass.
Until modern times, although the government has built a new bridge near the grass Keshwa Chaca but people here still prefer to use the bridge centennial grass.
Previously, the people of India to cross the bridge from Andahuaylas want grass Inca residents will be charged. So, instead of cash, they often come to pay for the grass Ichu Inca residents.
Despite being twisted from grass but Keshwa Chaca bridge can withstand the weight of 56 people standing on the bridge at one time.
The bridge 45 meters long Keshwa Chaca, is made up of 5 large braided ropes from the grass Ichu 10 cm in diameter.
To date, nearly 500 years since the Inca empire collapsed, leaving only one remaining bridge grass endures over time - it is Keshwa Chaca bridge, spanning the River Apurimac province of Canas, Peru.
During the heyday of the Inca kingdom, estimates that up to 200 bridges woven grass crafts like these are scattered throughout the Andes.
