Day 01
Qeswachaka Inca Bridge and Four Lagoons Excursion
- Your guide will pick you up from your hotel early in the morning to depart south of Cusco at approximately 5:00 am.
- After 1 hour and 30 minutes, the first stop will be in the town of Cusipata. Here, you will enjoy a delicious breakfast before continuing to the district of Quehue in the province of Canas for another hour and a half.
- After 3 hours of travel by car, you will begin an approximately 1-hour walk to see the last Quechua bridge, Qeswachaka. This beautiful and traditional bridge was recognized as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. The Qeswachaka bridge is built with Qoya fibre, a material obtained from an autochthonous plant. The bridge is renewed through a beautiful ritual performed by local communities. Previously, it was built entirely with Ichu, an altiplánico grass, and trunks tied to a stone structure.
- While observing the bridge, you will hear explanations from a very knowledgeable tour guide, who will talk about the history, traditions, the process of building the bridge, and more about Inca culture.
- After some free time, head back to the town of Cusipata for lunch. On the way, you will make extra stops to see 4 lagoons and enjoy them from a beautiful viewpoint.
- Finally, after finishing your great Qeswachaka Bridge Tour, return to Cusco City, arriving at approximately 6:00 pm.
Tour ends.
