Q’eswachaka – The Last Inca Bridge + 4 Lakes

DEPARTURE:

• Tour Start: 5:00 AM
• Tour End: 5:00 PM

We will start our adventure by picking you up from your hotel at 5:00 am. After approximately 3 hours, we will arrive at the community of Combapata, where we will stop to use the restrooms and enjoy breakfast. Then, we will head to the Combapata viewpoint, where we can appreciate a panoramic view of the confluence of two rivers called Vilcanota and Sallca. Continuing on, we will visit the Pabellones volcano in the district of Yanaoca, and after another hour, we will arrive at the district of Q’ewe, where the famous Inca bridge of “Q’eswachaka” is located. This bridge is built using plant fibers and has a length of 28.67 meters. It is surprising that it is reconstructed once a year in June by four local communities. Here, we will have time to explore Q’eswachaka and the surrounding area, while your guide narrates the history of this Inca engineering masterpiece. After visiting the bridge, we will head to Combapata, the chosen place to enjoy lunch.

After lunch, we will take a 15 to 20-minute digestive walk, where we will appreciate the Pampamarca, Asnacqocha, Acopía, and Pomacanchi Lakes, taking advantage of the opportunity to observe a large amount of regional flora and fauna, experiencing a rich Andean culture. Returning to Cusco, we will make an optional stop at the Portal of Rumipunku.
