The Incas left a legacy that has lived on for centuries and the Q’eswachaka bridge is definitely the perfect example of it! This 29-meter-long wooden bridge is renovated yearly, a tradition that unites several communities as it did over 600 years ago. Here’s what to expect:
• Visit the beautiful small lagoons of the region and get fully immersed in their fauna and flora.
• Discover a great cavern with important rock figures during pre-Columbian times.
• Find out everything about the Q’eswachaka bridge and its renovation ceremonies.
This tour will take you on a cultural journey that will allow you to understand the diversity of our heritage. Make the most of your experience in Cusco with us!

After a few more hours on the road, we will arrive at Qeswachaka, and after a short hike, we will appreciate a traditional Inca bridge made of straw, the last of its kind. Of course, due to its fragile material, the local villagers replace the ichu (Andean straw) each year. After our visit, we will have a break to enjoy our lunch box.

After lunch, we will have a very interesting stop on our way back to Cusco. These natural caverns were once an important site for the local villagers, as the stalactites on the cave form curious figures.
