Itinerary
Pass by: We will start this activity in the morning, with an early pickup from your hotel in Cusco. We will drive to the south of Cusco for about 2 hours. On the way, we will be able to appreciate four small lakes: Pomacanchi, Acopia, Asnaqocha and Pampamarca.
We will also stop briefly in Yanaoca to appreciate Pabellones Volcano, a little volcano located a few meters away from the road.
After a few more hours on the road, we will arrive at Qeswachaka, and after a short hike, we will appreciate a traditional Inca bridge made of straw, the last of its kind. Of course, due to its fragile material, the local villagers replace the ichu (Andean straw) each year. After our visit, we will have a break to enjoy our lunch box.
After lunch, we will have a very interesting stop on our way back to Cusco. These natural caverns were once an important site for the local villagers, as the stalactites on the cave form curious figures.
Finally, we will make a brief stop on Lake Pomacanchi to enjoy the sunset and the natural wildlife of the lake. Once we’ve finished with all the activities, we’ll return to Cusco. Drop off will be at your accommodation.

We made the tour with Milton, an excellent guide, always helpful and attentive! You took more than one walk with us. Always explaining the story with great skill! Great experience!
Inka Bridge
Percy guide very dear, attentive, we did the tour of the Inca bridge, it was very amazing to pass by it and know that it is only made of straw, very beautiful place with amazing views
Curting Inca wonders
The landscape is beautiful, the place is very quiet with the sounds of birds that echo among the mountains. Our guide, Edson, was very attentive and even helped us with photos! Arriving early makes a lot of difference, we were the only ones taking advantage of the place.
Private Tour to Qeswachaka
The Private Tour to Qeswachaka (Inca Bridge) with Percy and Wilbert was sensational. The boys were attentive from the beginning to the end of the tour, in addition to helping with the photos, which were simply perfect. Very grateful to Percy, Wilbert and Machu Picchu trips for the experience.
Unique experience
Visiting the only Inca bridge still in Peru was fantastic, and the very helpful, intelligent and attentive guide Percy gave all the necessary historical information. Driver Wilbert also very patient and experienced with driving. I highly recommend the tour, the company and the guides.
