Description

Qeswachaca is the last Inca suspension bridge in the world, built entirely with ichu fiber by Quechua communities for more than 600 years. Declared an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO, this unique destination will allow you to discover a living tradition that defies the passage of time, on the banks of the imposing Apurímac river canyon.

A place where history is not in a museum — it is alive, hand-woven every year by Quechua communities that have kept this tradition alive for centuries. Witnessing the Qeswachaca bridge means being part of one of the most extraordinary cultural expressions the Andean world has to offer — an act of identity, collective memory and connection with Inca ancestors that will leave you deeply moved.

Beyond the bridge, the journey takes you through the majestic Altiplano plateau, high Andean lakes, traditional communities and landscapes that very few travelers ever have the privilege of seeing. An experience that combines living culture, ancient history and Andean nature in its purest form.

Qeswachaca is not just a tourist destination — it is an open window to the soul of the Andes, where every woven thread tells a story of resistance, identity and love for a culture that has remained alive for more than six centuries.

ITINERARY:

  • Transport will pick you up between 7:00am and 7:30am from the center of Cusco.
  • We travel approximately 3 hours to the district of Quehue (Canas province), crossing the Altiplano plateau with puna landscapes, lakes and high Andean communities. Along the way we make a stop at Checacupe, which has a beautiful colonial church and an Inca stone bridge.
  • We arrive at Qeswachaca bridge (3,700 m.a.s.l.), where the guide will explain its history and construction technique. We will have time to cross the bridge, photograph the Apurímac river canyon and meet the local communities that keep this tradition alive.
  • Buffet lunch in the area with typical dishes from the region.
  • Return to Cusco. Arrival near the Plaza de Armas (approx. 18:00).
