Experience a journey that blends ancient tradition and breathtaking nature. Visit the Q’eswachaka Bridge, a marvel of Inca engineering and UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage, and explore the stunning landscapes of the Four Lagoons circuit—an off-the-beaten-path adventure deep in the southern Andes of Cusco.
Your day begins early with pick-up from your hotel. As we head south from Cusco, our guide will introduce you to the cultural richness of the region.
Our first stop is the town of Cusipata, where you'll enjoy a traditional Andean breakfast to energize for the day. Then, we continue to Yanaoca, where we’ll visit a curious geological formation—a mini volcano surrounded by towering mountains, perfect for a quick leg stretch and some unique photos.
We then travel to the district of Quehue, home to the remarkable Q’eswachaka Bridge, the last remaining handwoven Inca suspension bridge. Made from ichu grass, this 28.67-meter structure spans the Apurímac River and is entirely rebuilt each June using ancient techniques passed down through generations.
You'll have the opportunity to walk across the bridge, experiencing the strength and resilience of this incredible feat of engineering. Our guide will explain the rituals and traditions surrounding the bridge’s annual reconstruction, which involves four local communities and is deeply tied to the spiritual beliefs of the Andean world, including offerings to Pachamama (Mother Earth) and the Apus (mountain spirits).
Next, we head to the Mosoqllaqta viewpoint, where you'll witness the beauty of Pampamarca and Ancascocha lagoons—tranquil waters surrounded by lush landscapes and Andean peaks.
We continue to another viewpoint for panoramic views of Acopia and Pomacanchi lagoons. This lagoon system, rich in flora and fauna, is home to native birds and fish, and offers a peaceful immersion into authentic Andean nature and culture.
We wrap up the day with a delicious traditional lunch back in Cusipata, made from fresh, local ingredients. After sharing stories with fellow travelers, we begin our return to Cusco, arriving around 4:30 – 5:00 p.m.
This tour offers a unique blend of living heritage and natural beauty rarely found in typical Cusco excursions. Unlike crowded tourist sites, you'll explore a side of the Andes where ancient traditions still shape daily life.
The Q’eswachaka Bridge is not only a stunning Inca engineering marvel but also a sacred cultural expression that brings communities together each year through rituals and collective work.
Complementing this cultural immersion, the Four Lagoons circuit delivers tranquil scenery and a refreshing connection with nature, making this journey a perfect combination of history, culture, and landscape.
Don't miss the chance to walk across the last Inca bridge and witness the harmony between tradition and nature. Book your Q’eswachaka & Four Lagoons Tour now and discover one of the best-kept secrets of Southern Cusco.

Hice el Camino Inca de 4 días con Inka Trail y fue una experiencia increíble, mucho mejor de lo que imaginaba. Quiero agradecer especialmente a nuestro guía, Almikar, o como todos le decíamos, el Profe. Desde el primer día estuvo atento a todo el grupo y siempre dispuesto a ayudar. Yo no estaba en mi mejor estado físico y hubo momentos en los que me costó seguir el ritmo, pero él siempre me esperó con paciencia, me motivó y me dio fuerzas para continuar. Gracias a eso pude disfrutar cada etapa del camino. Además de ser un excelente guía, sabe muchísimo sobre la cultura inca y la historia de cada lugar que visitamos. Sus explicaciones fueron súper interesantes y aprendimos un montón durante todo el recorrido. También quiero destacar la comida, que estaba riquísima y superó completamente mis expectativas. Gracias Profe y a todo el equipo de Inka Trailer por hacer de esta experiencia algo tan especial. Me llevo recuerdos increíbles y recomiendo esta aventura a cualquiera que quiera vivir el Camino Inca de la mejor manera.

Excelente tour de 4 días de la mano de Amilkar, un verdadero genio. Respecto de la compañía, algunas cuestiones a solucionar como informar respecto de todos los montos a ser abonados y priorizar el aseo de los aislantes. La comida excelente, gran variedad de sabores. En definitiva, una experiencia única!
