Tour Overview

Enjoy a truly rare and authentic opportunity to witness and cross the last surviving woven Inca rope bridge: Q’eswachaka, an awe-inspiring masterpiece of ancestral engineering painstakingly renewed every single year by four neighboring Quechua communities. Tailored for curious adventurers, history enthusiasts, and cultural travelers, this full-day tour begins with a scenic drive across Cusco’s South Valley, admiring the picturesque four high-altitude lagoons: Pomacanchi, Acopia, Asnacocha, and Pampamarca. Upon reaching the Canas province, you will have the optional thrill of crossing this 500-year-old suspension bridge over the roaring Apurímac River canyon and listening to local community elders explain the sacred weaving rituals.
