Discover the Last Inca Bridge and Scenic Lagoons

The Q’eshuachaca Bridge, also known as the last Inca bridge, is a hidden gem of Andean heritage located in the district of Q’ewe. With over 600 years of history, this 28.67-meter-long bridge—made entirely of plant fiber (ichu)—is rebuilt every year by four local communities in a traditional ceremony recognized by UNESCO as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.

This full-day tour not only lets you walk across this legendary suspension bridge, but also takes you through a landscape of dormant volcanoes, panoramic viewpoints, and the stunning Four Lagoons: Pampamarca, Asnacocha, Acopia, and Pomacanchi.
