  Inca Bridge; and as far as we can go on this hike. The rest of the trail is closed to the public due to its fragile condition. The 'bridge' is a set of logs over a deep drop-off; and obviously once served as a 'drawbridge' to block unwanted invaders. Even before the conquistadors, the Inca fought battles with other tribes -- so protecting strategically important trails would have been critical. Click photo for a better view of the bridge.
