Qeswachaka Inca Bridge Tour
If you are looking to go back in time and discover the hidden treasures of the Andes, the Qeswachaka Inca Bridge Tour (group service) is definitely the one we recommend for you.
This place witnessed the construction of an extensive network of trails by the Incas. Here you will find the Hanging Bridges made of vegetable fibers which are a construction restored generation after generation, lasting for more than 500 years to the present day. The Apurimac River flows through these lands at 3700 meters above sea level and meets this sample of the past, where every year more than 1000 people gather to renew their structures, in a ritual recognized by UNESCO as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
In addition, you will be able to view the Apurimac Canyon, the Pabellones Volcano as well as the Pampamarca, Asnacqocha, Acopia and Pomacanchi lagoons. The four Andean lagoons form an unbeatable circuit where nature and adventure are combined, hidden in the depths of Peru.
