Qeswachaka Rope Bridge
The Experience
About 2 hours from Cusco you will find the famous Inca Bridge of “Q’eswachaka”. This bridge is built with vegetable fibers and has a length of 28.67 meters and a height of 3,600 meters. Of course, you can see it from the viewpoint, but today you can cross it yourself. This bridge is still traditionally replaced every year. In addition to a visit to the rope bridge, today there is also a visit to the house of Tupa Amaru II—and a walk at the four lakes: Pampamarca, Asnacqocha, Acopia, and Pomacanchi. Do not miss this opportunity to experience a cultural and ecological adventure in Cusco.
