Overview

This is an absolutely unique tour. The Q'eswachaka bridge is located across the Apurimac river, at about (3,900m/ 13,000 feet), in Canas province. This handwoven grass bridge spans 120 feet, and is rebuilt every one or two years as communal effort by all the local people of the region. The weaving and construction techniques have passed from generation to generation since the bridge was first built by the Incas. It is the only remaining example of an “Inca” hanging bridge that can be seen today.

It is the only remaining example of an “Inca” hanging bridge that can be seen today. The trip begins in the city of Cusco we will pick up you of your hotel at 6:30 a.m. approximately with south-west direction.

Before beginning with the renewal of the bridge an offering is given as a sign of respect and gratitude to the Pachamama.
