Queswachaca the Last Inca Bridge and 4 Lagoons Tour with Picnic
Description
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.

An Amazing experience. Very different from Sacred Valley, Machu Picchu and Cusco with almost no crowd and hustle and bustle those touristy areas. The tranquil Andean scenery, historic and cultural experience made this day trip from Cusco unique and enjoyable. I highly recommend it.
Our guide, Antonio, made this tour exceed my expectations. Not only did he explain the local customs and culture, but he made the entire day a learning adventure. On the way to the bridge, we stopped to buy Oropesa bread straight out of the oven and then made another stop for Coca tea leaves. On the way to and from the bridge, we were able to stop and take scenic pictures as well as speak with the locals. We had plenty of time at the bridge, crossing and recrossing, before stopping for a picnic lunch along a beautiful lake. Antonio walked us through the gratitude ceremony with the tea leaves. A really fabulous start on our adventure.
