The most terrible journey
By allfromweb on November 10, 2024
Not far from Bogota (Colombia) is a hard-to-village. Its residents can get to the other settlements only on the rope stretched across the gorge, which reaches a height of 400 meters. This line - the only link with the outside world. Pupils have to travel this road 2 times a day.
In one photograph, you can see how a girl carries a sack her younger sister, who is still very small, and can not cross the canyon on their own.
With wooden triangle made if necessary braking, it serves as a speed control, since the pulley can accelerate to speeds 62 km / h.
This lift is known from the early 19 th century. Since then, virtually nothing has changed, except that the cable is no longer hemp and steel.
