Overview
Full-Day Excursion to the Inca Bridge of Qeswachaka
This full-day excursion to the Inca Bridge of Qeswachaka in Qeswachaka, Peru, will lead you to discover one of the less crowded or lesser-known places on the South Valley route of Cusco. Additionally, it is situated above the Apurímac River with an elevation of 15 meters. This bridge was part of the road network of the Qhapaq Ñan or Inca Trail and is one of the Inca bridges that still retains its original authenticity, as it is constructed with puna straw or ichu. Approximately 1,000 residents from nearby communities are responsible for its annual reconstruction in June.
To clarify, the name of the bridge derives from two Quechua meanings: “Q’eswa” which means braid, and “Chaka” which means bridge. You will experience complete satisfaction after your tour.
