Overview of the Q'eswachaka Rope bridge full day
The Q'eswachaka Rope bridge full day tour takes you to one of the lesser-known sites along the southern valley route of Cusco. Located above the Apurímac River, this bridge stands 15 meters high and was once part of the Qhapaq Ñan or Inca Trail network. It is one of the few ancient Inca bridges that still maintains its authenticity, as it is made entirely of puna or ichu (Andean grass) straw.
In the month of June, the famous ceremony known as "the Q'eswachaka festival" is celebrated. During this festival, local communities are responsible for dismantling and repairing the bridge, where they weave new ropes using ancestral techniques.

We were lucky enough to live this adventure in a small group: just the three of us together with Urpi, an extraordinary guide. His knowledge, charisma and the detailed way of explaining each story and data made the tour even more special.

I had the most wonderful time in my visit to Cuzco and Machu Picchu with Andean Road. Jim who is a native from Cuzco truly loves and knows his city by heart, he was able to recommend the best places and activities on that dreamlike spot. The trip by train to Machu Picchu town and the Inca citadel was well organized, I didn’t have to worry about the tickets or logistics and just focused on making great memories for life .
