This begins by untying the old ropes that are tied to stone nails, to which they will re-tie the new braids and once finished, they will start throwing the ropes from one end to the other. The braiding of the ropes takes its time as well as the lashing of the cables, finally the four thick ropes that serve as the base and the two rails or handrails are placed.

The work day ends with the installation of railings and a bridge for crossing the side. Once finished the process begins with the opening of the bridge to the rhythm of the music and traditional dances of the area.

It’s the date of celebration. This day is a beautiful festival of indigenous dances by the inhabitants of the four Quechua communities.
