What to expect
Q’eswachaka Rope Bridge
Discover the last Inca suspension bridge still in use, woven entirely by hand with vegetable fibers. The Q’eswachaka Bridge, located over the Apurimac River at over 3,700 meters high, is a symbol of Andean cultural heritage and impressive Inca engineering. Each year, local communities renew the bridge in an ancestral ceremony that has been recognized by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. Walking on your woven ropes is a unique experience that connects the past with the present, allowing you to feel the living history beneath your feet. In addition to visiting the bridge, this tour will allow you to enjoy the beautiful high Andean landscapes, turquoise lagoons and picturesque traditional villages, giving you an authentic view of life in the Andes. A cultural, historical and natural experience that you will not find anywhere else
Checacupe
Czechocupe is a picturesque Andean village located on the route to the south of Cusco, known for its unique colonial stone bridge and its three historic bridges that coexist in one place: the Inca rope bridge, the colonial arch bridge and the Republican iron bridge. This destination offers a unique combination of architecture, history and tradition, framed by a beautiful landscape of mountains and rivers that make it a must-see cultural stop for those who want to know the richness of the Andean legacy.
