  • Cusipata
    Our experience begins very early, between 3:00 and 4:00 a.m., with pickup from your hotel in Cusco. We will travel south through the region toward Cusipata, where we will make our first stop of the day. In Cusipata, we will take a break for breakfast, allowing you to recharge before continuing toward the Q’eswachaka Bridge.
  • After breakfast, we will continue toward the Q’eswachaka region. Along the way, we will travel through spectacular Andean landscapes and have the opportunity to admire four of the region’s lagoons: Pomacanchi, Acopia, Asnaqocha, and Pampamarca. Surrounded by mountains and Andean communities, these lagoons offer some of the most scenic views along the route.
  • We will also make a brief stop in Yanaoca to admire Pabellones Volcano, a small volcanic formation located just a short distance from the road. This will be a quick photo stop, giving you time to appreciate the landscape before continuing toward Q’eswachaka.
  • After several more hours on the road, we will reach the Q’eswachaka area. Following a short walk, we will arrive at the famous traditional bridge made from ichu, the native Andean grass. Q’eswachaka is one of the most significant surviving expressions of Andean cultural tradition. Every year, local communities come together to replace the grass and rebuild the bridge, preserving an ancestral practice that has been passed down from generation to generation for more than 600 years. During the visit, you will learn about the bridge’s history, its importance to the surrounding communities, and the ceremonies associated with its annual renewal. This is one of the highlights of the experience, offering a rare opportunity to witness a living tradition that continues to this day.
  • Cusipata
    After visiting Q’eswachaka Bridge, we will begin our return journey and head back to Cusipata, where we will stop for lunch. This will be an opportunity to rest, recharge, and enjoy a meal before continuing toward the Q’arañahui Caves.
  • After lunch, we will continue our journey back toward Cusco, making a stop at the Q’arañahui Caves. These natural caves feature rock formations shaped over thousands of years. Inside, you can observe stalactites and other formations that resemble a variety of intriguing shapes, making this an interesting stop for travelers wishing to discover the region’s geological features.
  • Toward the end of the tour, we will make a brief stop at Lake Pomacanchi to admire the surrounding scenery and enjoy the sunset over the lake. This will be a more relaxed moment to take in the Andean landscape after a full day immersed in the region’s culture, history, and natural beauty. Once all activities have been completed, we will continue our journey back to Cusco. Upon arrival in the city, you will be dropped off directly at your accommodation.
