Qeswachaka Tour Full Day - Private Service

We will start our Qeswachaka Tour Full Day by picking you up from your hotel in Cusco between 6:30 a.m. and 7:00 a.m. (previous coordination). Once we are all aboard our private transportation, we will head towards the remote province of Canas in a journey of approximately 3 hours, halfway we will make a stop in the province of Acomayo to observe the lagoons of Pomacanchi, Acopia, Asnaqocha and Pampamarca (also known as Tungasuca), where we can witness the most beautiful scenery of the crystal-clear waters of the lagoons, surrounded by mountains and surrounding villages.

After enjoying and having taken the best pictures of the 4 lagoons circuit, we will return to our transportation and continue our trip to the town of Canas, which houses the famous and unique Qeswachaka Bridge, once we reach the bridge, we can swing on this apex of Inca engineering, while we connect with the history that the guide will give us to know. The bridge is approximately 30 meters long and is handmade with ropes braided from a grass known as “ichu”.

Note: Every year in the month of June, the 4 communities get together to carry out the maintenance of this bridge for 4 days. They start by tearing down the old bridge to build a new one using ancestral techniques inherited from generation to generation.

We will have the opportunity to cross the bridge twice, which will allow us to enjoy the breathtaking view of the Apurimac Canyon and take the best photos.

After the visit and exploration of this beautiful place, we will return to the transportation that will take us to a tourist restaurant to taste our nutritious and delicious lunch, to finally start the return trip, during which we will be able to appreciate an incredible Andean sunset until we arrive to Cusco city, to end this great experience.
