Everyone thinks of Machu Picchu but this bridge is pretty high up there on interesting things to see, and cross.

The account of the final weaving of the bridge is awesome. I'd imagine it isn't much different from any job you can do while "dangling," but still. Wow.

I am curious on the idea that wheels would not have been helpful? I get that full blown carriages and such would have been a bit of work to use, but it isn't like a wheel barrow isn't already useful.

I'm also curious on how they wound the rope without some sort of wheel involved?
