This bridge is renewed every year in the second week of June of each year and made by 4 communities (Quehue, Chaupibanda, Choccayhua and C'ollana), which perform a community work called Minka (collective work) in which they make 6 ropes of large size which tenzan and cross from one side to the other this rope is made with vegetable fiber from a plant called Ichu which is abundant in the area and is prepared days before to be used in the construction of the bridge.
