How many rope bridges have been rebuilt every year for the last 600+ years? I find that extremely interesting.
From the article:
> The Q'eswachaka bridge is woven by hand and has been in place for at least 600 years. [...] The tradition has been passed on from generation to generation with every adult in the communities on either side gathering to bring new life to the crossing. [...] The reconstruction of Q'eswachaka takes place once a year, [...]
Tradition dictates that only men are allowed to work on the making of the bridge itself. Women remain in the upper part of the gorge, weaving the smaller ropes.
