Descrizione
Discover the four lagoons of Pomacanchi, Acopia, Asnacocha, and Pampamarca on a day trip from Cusco. Visit the Queshuachaca Bridge, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and enjoy a picnic lunch.
Discover the beauty of the Peruvian Andes on a full-day tour of the four lagoons. Stop for breakfast in the Andean town of Cusipata, see the famous Queshuachaca Bridge, and enjoy a picnic lunch by the lagoon.
After being picked up from your hotel in Cusco at around 4:00 AM, travel south in search of the four lagoons. Make a stop along the way to have breakfast in the Andean town of Cusipata, and then continue with the tour until you reach the Quehue district to see the famous Queshuachaca Bridge.
Admire the footbridge that dates back to the Inca period, built entirely of a vegetable fiber called ichu. This rope walkway, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is renewed every year in a ritual that preserves historic Inca techniques.
Then it's on to the first and the largest of the four lagoons: Lake Pomacanchi, home to a wealth of native plants and wildlife, especially exotic birds, which are attracted to its clear waters. Not far from here, reach the Acopia lagoon, on whose shores is the picturesque village of the same name.
Continue to Lake Asnacocha before stopping beside Pampamarca lagoon to admire its beautiful natural landscapes. Return to Cusipata to refuel with a delicious picnic lunch. Then, having eaten, return to Cusco, leaving you back at your hotels at around 6:00 PM.
