From ancient Incan ruins to breathtaking mountains and canyons, Peru is home to some of South America’s top attractions. Its bridges are as spectacular as all the other tiny wonders that this country has in store and here are three that you shouldn’t miss for the world.
Queshuachaca
Rope bridges were once all the rage in Peru and Queshuachaca is one of the most mind-blowing wonders of this kind. It’s one of the last remaining Incan rope bridges in the world, handwoven with grass ropes, and it’s an ancient tradition to have it renewed annually so it wouldn’t collapse due to lack of maintenance.
Inca Bridge
Another important historic bridge, Inca Bridge refers to two bridges that provide access to Machu Picchu. Trunk bridge was a part of a mountain trail with a dramatic 1,900-foot drop, while an ancient rope bridge collapsed a long time ago, but it’s a tradition to build a replica every two years.
Brazil–Peru Integration Bridge
One of the most significant modern bridges in Peru, the Integration Bridge has been around since 2006. It crosses the Acre River and connects Brazil and Peru, but it also happens to be very close to the Bolivian border.
