Here are 2 holes in the ground that you can’t (don’t want to, actually) modify. You can’t, either, take things home off it and you can only see —and explore:

The Colca Canyon in Peru

and the Grand Canyon in the US.

​

2 big gaps in the Earth.

Do they have value?

Yeah.

They attract a very specific kind of traveler for each of the available options: from no-budget, to low budget, to medium, to money’s-not-a-problem ($7K+/person).

They can find beauty in exploring it from their depths, from flying over them, from walking and seeing the landscapes, from finding the kinds of life existing there —or the lack of life itself.

They can find beauty in saying “I went there and did this” → A demonstration of status.

Value.

Now, imagine several sets of bridges on those gaps.

Wait. I can make it more graphic.

What would make you want to bridge them?
