This trip is for travelers who care about living traditions and want a day off the main tourist circuit. It suits people who do not want a hard hike, since the walking is short and the high point is about 12,140 ft (3,700 m). If you want a strenuous mountain day instead, pick one of the striped mountain hikes in this category.
Q'eswachaka (also written Qeswachaka) is a suspension bridge woven from grass rope over a gorge of the Apurimac River. Four Quechua communities, Huinchiri, Chaupibanda, Choccayhua and Ccollana Quehue, replace it every year in a three-day collective effort, twisting straw into thin cords and braiding them into six thick cables. UNESCO inscribed the knowledge and rituals of that renewal on its Intangible Cultural Heritage list in 2013. Do not confuse it with the Inca Bridge trail inside Machu Picchu, a different site. For the full story read the story of the last Inca rope bridge.
The road south passes Pomacanchi, Acopia, Asnaqocha and Pampamarca, four highland lakes framed by farm villages and grazing llamas. It is about three and a half hours each way, so the day is long and mostly scenic driving. You can walk across the bridge if you want. Many people only make it halfway, and that is fine.
One price for everyone: US$137 per person, shared service, with transport, guide, breakfast and lunch. There is no hotel tier because you sleep in your own Cusco hotel. Solo travelers and groups who want their own departure get a quote through the free quote form.

Open a day to see the hours, the altitude and where you sleep. Times are the ones our guides actually keep.
Back in Cusco the same day, high point about 12,140 ft (3,700 m)
Pickup around 4:00 a.m. from hotels in central Cusco. The van heads south past farm villages as the sky gets light.
A hot breakfast stop on the way to the lakes.
The road follows Pomacanchi, Acopia, Asnaqocha and Pampamarca, with photo stops when the light is good and the water is still.
You reach the gorge by mid-morning. Your guide explains how the communities twist the straw, braid the cables and hold the renewal ritual. Then you walk across if you want, or watch from the bank.
Lunch on the way back north.
Drop-off at your hotel in Cusco between 5:00 and 5:30 p.m.
The route runs south of Cusco past four highland lakes to the Q'eswachaka bridge over the Apurimac River.

"Incredible experience!! Beautiful landscape and beautiful people. We were lucky to be guided by Vladimir, who with his lovely personality and amazing knowledge made this trip a great learning experience."
"All the tours I did (Machu, Humantay Lake, Rainbow Mountain, Sacred Valley) were spectacular!!! From picking me up at the hotel (always punctual and attentive, notifying about everything!) to the guides I had who were also excellent."
"I came to this agency by recommendation and, after traveling with them on two occasions, I can say that it was an excellent decision. I must highlight the professionalism of the guides, who made every tour very interesting and safe."
Everything we get asked about this package before people book.
Yes, outside the renewal works. You walk across the woven grass floor holding the side ropes, with your guide nearby. It sways and feels higher than it is. Go slowly, one step at a time, and turn back whenever you want. Watching from the bank is a fine choice too.
Once a year, over three days, usually in June. The communities of Huinchiri, Chaupibanda, Choccayhua and Ccollana Quehue twist straw into cords, braid them into cables and hang the replacement. UNESCO inscribed this renewal on its Intangible Cultural Heritage list in 2013. Ask us for the dates if you want to see it.
About 3.5 hours each way by road, south through the province of Canas. That is why pickup is around 4:00 a.m. and you are back in Cusco between 5:00 and 5:30 p.m. The four lakes on the way break up the drive.
No. The one at Machu Picchu is a log crossing on a cliff path inside the sanctuary, visited on a separate route. Q'eswachaka is a woven grass suspension bridge over the Apurimac River, far to the south of Cusco.
No. The walking is short, mostly the path down to the gorge and back, and the altitude stays around Cusco's level. The hard part is the long drive. If you get car sick, sit in front and bring your remedy.
Shorter, longer, or a different route.
