For over 500 years, Incans have been building and rebuilding the Q’eswachaka suspension bridge that crosses a deep river gorge using woven mountain grasses. This bridge is just one of many along the 25,000 mile Great Inca Road.
In this program, you will put your bridge-building skills to the test by creating a model bridge that animals could use to safely cross roads. Please note there may be small pieces and adult guidance is encouraged. While supplies last.
No registration necessary. This is an open house format program. Drop in anytime and stay as long as you like. Last entry is 15 minutes before the end time.
