The Inca Bridge Q’eswachaka, a UNESCO «Intangible Cultural Heritage,» is a unique destination near Cusco, crafted using ancient Q’eswa techniques with braided reed ropes.

ITINERARIO
We will pick you up from your hotel in Cusco at 4:30 a.m. to start our journey south along the road that leads to the Canas province. Along the way, we will admire the Pomacanchi Lagoon and the mystical Urcos Lagoon, where it is said the last Inca ordered the gold of the empire to be hidden to protect it from the Spanish. We will continue towards the imposing Pabellones volcano and its homonymous pass.
In Q’eswachaka (also known as Qeshuachaca), we will have the unique opportunity to visit its ancestral bridge, a jewel of Andean architectural and cultural art. This sacred bridge crosses the majestic Apurímac River, located in the Canas province. Each year, this last Inca bridge requires maintenance due to the natural deterioration of its material (straw) from the highland climate. The annual reconstruction that takes place in June is celebrated as an ancestral festivity, attracting local communities and offering a privileged view of this millenary tradition.
