  Puente del Inca

  Located in the heart of the Andes Mountains, 2,720 meters above sea level, the Puente del Inca is a mountain area famous for its natural bridge, a unique geological curiosity in the world and declared a Natural Monument. The Bridge has been formed by the action of mineral waters. The river flow made its way through sediments deposited at the bottom of a trough and then cemented by the thermal waters. These give the area its orange, yellow and ocher color, and any object that is placed under them such a hardness due to the impregnation in mineral salts that it acquires a "petrified" appearance. On the right bank is home to the famous hot springs, with five sources of the same type, but with different temperatures and components. The unique hills next to it and the Las Cuevas River that passes dozens of meters below the bridge complete the postcard.
