So beautiful, power of traditional weaving. Bridge made of string: Peruvians weave 500-year-old Incan crossing back into place Peruvians from the Huinchiri community in Cusco region are rebuilding a 500-year-old Incan hanging bridge, made using traditional weaving techniques to string a crossing together spanning the Apurimac river far below.

The Q’eswachaka bridge has been used for over 500 years to connect communities divided by the river. But during the Covid pandemic it fell into disrepair and collapsed in March.

Members of the affected communities, such as the Huinchiri, decided to rebuild the 30-meter (98.43 ft) long bridge in the traditional Incan style: by weaving it. 📷

is calculated that today is the day all women start working for free. That’s to say that the inequalities in pay mean that you get paid around 25% less per year than your male counterpart. So from today until the end of the year you’re effectively working for nothing (or job satisfaction, but that’s no guarantee, and it doesn’t pay the rent, childcare, food etc).
