Keshwa Chaca - The Last Incan Grass Bridge

Three hundred years before Europe saw its first suspension bridge, the Incas were spanning longer distances and deeper gorges than anything that the best European engineers, working with stone, were capable of. This is the last Incan bridge, woven entirely from grass.

Keeping ancient culture alive in this way is a very valuable asset for the entire world and I want these skills to be passed down forever more. Magic stuff !

Seeker Stories Thanks! It is pretty incredible, and seeing how they remake the bridge, and what a community effort it is, is really astonishing.
