Well it is just a rope bridge so it probably wears down pretty quickly, not to mention it’s a lot prettier than most bridges and there’s something to be said about traditions being beautiful and not necessarily efficient

The thing I love most about this video is that because the old bridge is all natural they basically just cut it loose and let it drift away without any worries about environmental impact because the materials came straight from the environment to begin with.

Unfortunelly, most of the younger generations are likely to forget their own traditions thanks to live a more urban life in the capital in order to have a decent education or job. It is really sad to see many cultures lost, including most of the languages we used to have. Sincerely, a peruvian.

I like the way that bridge blends into the environment.

I visited this bridge with a friend after watching this documentary and it was such a unique experience. Being on a bridge made from natural materials by hand was such a disconnect to my world of concrete and metal. Once we crossed, a "keeper of the bridge" greeted us and had us sign our names in a book of people that have crossed. It felt like a rite of passage in a sacred place. I'll remember it forever, thanks Great Big Story.

wow! all this culture and tradition is so beautiful. makes me wanna go there even more. i wonder how many hours will it took to make the fences of the bridge?

Martin Tabanag Apparently it takes four days to make. The first day is when the women weave. The second day is when they take down the old bridge. The third day is when they start to build the new bridge. And the fourth day is just to celebrate. All the process starts in June's first Sunday. I was in Cuzco this winter (winter for Peru, summer for the north hemisphere) And I wish I'd have more time to see more. There are so many places, and I know this word is misused a lot but, truly it is amazing.

Martin Tabanag Affirmative my fellow traveler. I'm Peruvian and highly recommend learning some Spanish. It can save you from many awkward situations (and put you in some). Also bargain. Don't be afraid to do it. I've realized many people don't dare to do it and end up spending more that they planned. Pd: I mean bargain in small stores, antiques and crafts, or even with the hotel people. Sometimes asking "¿nada menos?" (Anything less?) can save some money. Do it on no established price items. Don't do it with food, that might cause troubles.

The pride in their eyes when they talk about their culture, their history and the work they do is inspiring

True definition of "UNITY IS STRENGTH"

This should have 0 dislike. This something you can't help to like hard work and hug family work together

This is truly an inspiration for the way things should be preserved handed down. Tradition is all we have that links us with what made us who we are god bless these people ❤

Amazing to see this tradition being preserved in the 21st century

Why did this make me teary eyed T_T so beautiful to watch communities work and celebrate together, simple pleasures like this !

My Mom and Dad was both born in Peru,Lima.Most of my family members live there. I never knew this bridge existed,but now I know.

Authentic community! Authentic culture. Beautiful!!! I wanna join them next June.

I hope this tradition stays around for many many generations to come

So heartwarming, how they are preserving their tradition.🥺

I like this tradition so much. It involves group work, strength, good relationship with people and bravery. The only time where they all meet, have fun while working

There are SO MANY WONDERFUL, BEAUTIFUL, AND AWESOME PEOPLE, PLACES, AND THINGS THEY DO/CREATE!!! MY GOD!! I had no idea of a lot of these.... this channel you have is absolutely AMAZING, THANK YOU!!! (Plus, you make the short stories easy to understand too!)

I just love the editing/ camera work in these videos

Great sense of community. The world needs these values

This community shows how intact they are. I love them.

I got to ride a bike to the Inca bridge from Quehue. Landscape was incredible!

Increíble! Estos vídeos deberían aparecer más seguidos en los canales nacionales.

So much care and enjoyment they have. Man I wish it would return to this in the USA. We cant even agree on what color the grass is or if the sky is even real. My countrymen are a disgrace right now. And these people doing a celebration over building a new weed rope bridge.......Wish I could send this to everyone in my country..........

Beautiful way to keep the culture alive

Viva peru

I hope this tradition continuea for a long timeee

Love their culture being honoured

These are the stories is subscribed to this channel for. Incredibly beautiful tradition!

Peru. Always Perú

Nice to continue tradition.

This is such an amazing tradition, I love how much joy and care they put into it.

That’s so amazing and special that they have kept this tradition going on for all this long 👌

I love Perù!! Proud of my country

Thank you. This made me smile and I love learning about the culture. Beautiful people 🌺

Uplifting and beautiful

This is the way these peoples managed to build monuments such as Cusco, Machu Picchu, and more. The whole community takes a sense of deep pride in the creation of something that will benefit everybody. Saying that aliens o Atlanteans built Tiwanacu just denies them the merit of their capabilities, culture, and identity...

yay, delightful story.

This obviously had more necessity to the people many years ago, but the fact that the whole village comes together and contributes to a task every year is wholesome af. I'd bet there is no crime in their community. The fact that they are building a bridge out of grass on the other hand, is just fucking amazing.

wow I hope this tradition continues

such a beutiful tradition

This is incredible, thanks for sharing!

Amazing tradition for bringing their people together

Unfortunately, social media very rarely show this kind of stuff happening in my country, Perú. They usually are more focused on politics, crimes, "celebrities". I am glad I came to know this tradition going on in my country, but I am disappointed that on my own country, these kind of things aren't showed anywhere. People is forgetting their culture, their roots... And this is not even happening for a better purpose, is just happening to make lot of young people braindead.

Such a beautiful thriving tradition .❤️ Great big story has always best to show us. ❤️

How wonderful this is!

Yet another reason found to visit Peru.

As long its makes people happy and do no harm. The hardwork will be remembered and bcome bless.

Very impressive. Greetings from the UK

I love the way people get help all each other like one family. Shit almost cry watching.

What a lovely group of people"

That looks so much fun.

This is so wholesome

This ancient tradition is really what should be named a world wonder. But I guess then a lot of people would walk on it and trample on it. Nevertheless, the nature of it is so beautiful and wondrous.

Long live the bridge, may it last forever!
