It’s a string thing

Peruvians from the Huinchiri community in Cusco region are rebuilding a 500-year-old Incan hanging bridge, made using traditional weaving techniques to string a crossing together spanning the Apurimac river far below.

The Q’eswachaka bridge has been used for over 500 years to connect communities divided by the river. But during the Covid pandemic it fell into disrepair and collapsed in March.

And now you can feel the adrenaline crossing the Q’eswachaka Suspension Bridge, engineered by the Incas. Marvel at impressive views of the 4 lakes and take the opportunity to observe native bird species including flamingos. Benefit from round-trip transfers from Cusco. (See below to book.)
