The Inca Bridge is a part of a mountain trail that heads west from Machu Picchu. The trail is a stone path, part of which is cut into a cliff face. A twenty-foot gap was left in this section of the carved cliff edge, over a 1,900-foot drop, that could be bridged with two tree trunks, otherwise leaving the trail impassable to outsiders.
