Description
From Cusco: Qeswachaka Inca Bridge | Pabellones Volcano |
The tour to the Inca Qeswachaka Bridge begins with the pick up from your hotel from 4:30 – 5:00 a.m.
Continuing almost two hours of travel south of Cusco we will visit the four lagoons, after enjoying a quiet moment near the lagoons, we will visit the small Pabellones volcano that is located near the town of Yanaoca.
Then we will arrive at the impressive Inca bridge.
This Inca suspension bridge is made of vegetable fiber (Ichu) and is located over the Apurímac river in the district of Quehue. The existence of this bridge dates from the Inca period.
Renovation and maintenance is done once a year by local people from the four surrounding communities. Before beginning the renovation of the bridge, an offering is given as a sign of respect and gratitude to the Pachamama.
We will have the opportunity to cross the Inca bridge from both sides. But be careful, it seems easy, but it takes courage.
On the way back to Cusco we will make one last visit to the colonial Inca bridge of Checacupe where you will be able to see the differences between both bridges.
This interesting trip ends in the city of Cusco at approximately 5 pm.
