On this full-day tour, you will visit many natural attractions on the way to the Inca bridge, such as four small lakes where we will enjoy sights of the natural wildlife.
When you arrive at the bridge, you will learn more about the straw braiding technique and the reconstruction of the bridge, a process that takes more than three days and is done annually by the local communities, who keep this tradition alive, passing from generation to generation.
Once we finish our visit to the bridge, the return to Cusco begins through a beautiful road full of attractions, such as the Q'arañahui caves, which have impressive formations of stalagmites and stalactites that are said to have taken the shape of a puma and condor over the years. Finally, we will stop briefly at Pomacanchi Lake to enjoy the sunset and the wildlife.
Once we’ve finished with all the activities, we will drop you off at your hotel in Cusco.
Departure place
- We will pick you up from your hotel in the center of Cusco.

Itinerary
Day 1
Qeswachaka Inca Bridge
- 7:00AM: We will start this activity in the morning, with an early pickup from your hotel in Cusco. Before departure, our guide will give a brief explanation about the tour.
- We will drive to the south of Cusco for about 2 hours. In the way, we will be able to appreciate four small lakes: Pomacanchi, Acopia, Asnaqocha and Pampamarca.
- We will also stop briefly in Yanaoca to appreciate the Volcán de Pabellones, a little volcano located few meters away of the road.
- After a few more hours on the road, we will arrive to 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, each year the local villagers replace the ichu (Andean straw) to mantain the bridge resistance.
- After our visit, we will have a break to enjoy our boxed lunch.
- 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 animal figures.
- Finally, we will make a brief stop on the Lake Pomacanchi to enjoy the sunset and the natural wildlife of the lake.
- Once we’ve finished with all the activities, we’ll return to Cusco. Drop off will be at your accommodation.
