This tour to Q’eswachaka Full Day will take you to know one of the places not so crowded or little known on the route of the southern valley of Cusco, located on the Apurimac River has an altitude of 15 meters. It belonged to the network of Inca roads (Qhapaq ñan), and is one of the Inca bridges that still maintains intact its authenticity as it is made of (Puna paja or ichu). About 1,000 residents of the nearby communities are responsible for rebuilding it annually in June.
The Q’eswachaka Full Day Tour starts with the pick up from your accommodation between 4:30 and 5:00 am. If your hotel or hostel is not located in the city center, we will pick you up from the door of our office building. Once the entire group is assembled, around 5:00 am, we will begin our trip.
We will have a 1:30 hour trip to the village of cusipata where we will stop for breakfast.
Then, we will continue our trip to Yanaoca, one of the eight districts of the province of Canas in Cusco. From Yanaoca, we will drive thirty minutes more to the district of Q’ewe.
From there, you will have your first glimpse of the ancient bridge suspended between the sheer rock cliffs, as we drive through the Apurimac Canyon.
Next, we will leave the car and descend down a steep path to a lookout point to take photos, before carefully crossing the bridge together!
Prepare for the adrenaline rush of your life as you make your way across the swinging bridge, and try not to look too closely at the river several meters below! On the other side, the bridge attendant will greet us and give a brief demonstration of the history and construction of the bridge.
After visiting the bridge, we will drive to the regions where four famous lakes are located: Pampamarca, Asnacqoccha, Acopia and Pomacanchi. Set like jewels among the golden green hills, they sparkle in the warm afternoon sun while flamingos and flamingoes glisten in the shade.
