Qeswachaka Inca Bridge Full Day Tour
The Incas left a legacy that has lived on for centuries and the Q’eswachaka bridge is definitely the perfect example of it! This 29-meter-long wooden bridge is renovated yearly, a tradition that unites several communities as it did over 600 years ago. Here’s what to expect:
• Visit the beautiful small lagoons of the region and get fully immersed in their fauna and flora.
• Discover a great cavern with important rock figures during pre-Columbian times.
• Find out everything about the Q’eswachaka bridge and its renovation ceremonies.

After a few more hours on the road, we will arrive at Qeswachaka, and after a short hike, we will appreciate a traditional Inca bridge made of straw, the last of its kind.
