Overview

This is an absolutely unique tour. The Q'eswachaka bridge is located across the Apurimac river, at about (3,900m/ 13,000 feet), in Canas province. This handwoven grass bridge spans 120 feet, and is rebuilt every one or two years as communal effort by all the local people of the region. About 700 men and women form the communities Huinchiri, Ccollana come to Q'eswachaka to a Fiesta that celebrates the construction of the bridge. The final day of the fiesta is the second Sunday in June, where you can see typical dances and walk across the completed bridge. You can also visit the bridge site, in the days preceding, to see the bridge building in progress.

The weaving and construction techniques have passed from generation to generation since the bridge was first built by the Incas. It is the only remaining example of an “Inca” hanging bridge that can be seen today.

    The distance from Cusco to Qeswachaca (or Q'eswachaka), the famous Inca Bridge in the Canas Province, is approximately 150-160 kilometers (93-100 miles). It takes about 4 to 5 hours to drive, depending on road conditions and stops along the way. The drive is through a mix of paved and unpaved roads, so it’s essential to have a reliable vehicle if you're planning a road trip. The bridge is located in a remote area, and the roads can sometimes be a bit rugged, especially during the rainy season.
