Translated: "Beautiful photograph of the old suspension bridge La Mejorada (c. 1920), seen from east to west, you can see an entrance door and the person in charge of charging for the use of this. Currently this space is occupied by the La Breña bridge, which allows access to the city of Huancayo from the right bank."
