Puente Pachachaca, Road bridge in Abancay District, Peru
The Pachachaca Bridge crosses the Rio Pachachaca with its stone and limestone structure, connecting different parts of the Apurímac region.
Built in 1654 under the orders of Viceroy Conde de Salvatierra, the bridge marks the location where Diego de Almagro defeated Inca Paullu in 1517.
The bridge represents Spanish colonial architecture in Peru through its masonry techniques and stands as a National Historical Cultural Heritage site.
The 36-meter bridge functions as a primary connection point between the cities of Abancay and Andahuaylas, supporting local traffic flow.
Charles Wiener included a graphic representation of the bridge in his 1878 book 'Perou et Bolivie', documenting its historical appearance.
