Q’eswachaka & Andean Soul – Inca Rope Bridge Tour from Cusco
🕗 09:00 a.m. – Four Lagoons Scenic Stop
We stop to admire four stunning highland lagoons: Pomacanchi, Acopia, Asnaqocha, and Pampamarca. These peaceful waters are part of the traditional Andean world surrounding the historic Cusco Inca bridges, reflecting local life, farming traditions, and ancient connections to nature.
🕗 11:00 a.m. – Ichu Fiber Demonstration
Learn how ichu grass is braided by hand using ancestral Inca techniques. This traditional skill is essential for rebuilding the Qeswachaca Inca Bridge, a living example of engineering knowledge passed down through generations.
🕗 11:30 a.m. – Arrival and Cross the Q’eswachaka Bridge
We arrive at the legendary Qeswachaka, also known as the Qeswachaca Inca Bridge, suspended high above the Apurímac River. This iconic structure, made entirely from hand-braided ichu grass, is rebuilt annually by local communities in a sacred ritual recognized by UNESCO. During this highlight of the Inca rope bridge tour, you’ll safely cross the bridge and feel its gentle sway — an unforgettable cultural experience.

After visiting the Qeswachaka Inca Bridge, we continue toward Combapata, enjoying dramatic canyon views and remote Andean scenery along the way.

Enjoy an optional traditional Andean lunch in Combapata, a perfect moment to rest and reflect on your journey to one of the most remarkable Cusco Inca bridges.
🕗 02:00 p.m. – Visit to the Colonial Bridge of Combapata
Before returning to Cusco, we stop at the stone colonial bridge of Combapata. This visit offers a fascinating contrast between Spanish-era engineering and the ancient ingenuity seen at Qeswachaka.
