Description
The most important thing is that this adventure is a good option for people who like nature and do not have many days available.
The tour to the Qeswachaka Inca Bridge starts with the pick up from your hotel at 5:00 a.m., after almost two hours of travel through the south of Cusco we will visit the four lagoons.
After enjoying a quiet moment near the lagoons, we will visit the small volcano of Pabellones which is located near the town of Yanaoca.
Then we will arrive at the impressive Inca bridge. This Inca hanging bridge is made of vegetable fiber (Ichu) and is located over the Apurimac River in the district of Quehue. The existence of this bridge dates back to Inca times.
Renovation and maintenance is done once a year by local people from the four surrounding communities. Before starting 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 looks easy, but it takes courage.
On the way back to Cusco we will make a 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.
