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.

Itinerary
1
Pomacanchi
We will start this activity in the morning, with an early pickup from your hotel in Cusco. We will drive to the south of Cusco for about 2 hours. On the way, we will be able to appreciate four small lakes: Pomacanchi, Acopia, Asnaqocha and Pampamarca.
2
Yanaoca
We will also stop briefly in Yanaoca to appreciate Pabellones Volcano, a little volcano located a few meters away from the road.
15 minutes
3
Qeswachaka Peru Tours
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.
1 hour
4
Grutas De Q'arañahui
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.
30 minutes
5
Pomacanchi
Finally, we will make a brief stop on 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.
