Would you walk over a handwoven bridge?

This is the oldest surviving Inca rope bridge in the world. It’s made from grass ropes and matting that the local residents weave themselves. They still use these materials to repair the bridge by hand every June. Traditionally, these bridges could last up to 500 years.

It’s 118ft long and is suspended 220ft above the Apurimac River. During the rainy season, the river turns into a raging torrent below.
