The Most Famous Hike in Peru & South America
1 Days & 0 Nights
Our full-day Qeswachaka Inca Bridge is for those who want to explore a place that is not so crowded or off the beaten path of other tours. This tour will take you towards the southern valley of Cusco. The location of this bridge was part of a network that belongs to the Inca Trail. It is considered a modern relic, as the communities (about 1,000 residents approximately) that live near the bridge renew it annually every June with the techniques of their ancestors. The material from which the bridge is made is Puna straw (better known as ichu) and seeing this bridge is a cultural spectacle since each rope is handmade so come and enjoy this wonderful experience with META Peru.
We will pick you up very early, between 4:00 a.m. and 4:30 a.m., from your hotel in Cusco. We will travel south for about 2 hours until we reach Cusipata, where we will have our local breakfast.
Then we continue traveling for approximately 3 hours until we reach the starting point of our hike.
From here, we will begin a hike of approximately 1 hour, ascending slowly along high-altitude trails, until we reach the main viewpoint of Pallay Punchu. At the top, you will have time to enjoy the scenery, take photos, and contemplate the impressive Langui River valley and its lagoons.
After the visit, we will travel for approximately 3 hours back to Cusipata, where we will enjoy a traditional lunch, and then we begin our return trip to Cusco, arriving around 5:30 p.m.

Before confirming your reservation, we recommend reviewing:
Our team ensures your Qeswachaka experience is authentic, educational, and perfectly organized from pickup to return.
It is very important to be well acclimatized to the altitude before going on a trek. We recommend that you arrive in Cusco at least 1 or 2 days before you start your trek to help you adapt and avoid potential problems with altitude sickness during the trek.
You have probably already been to another high-altitude area of Peru before arriving in Cusco. In this case, we recommend that you rest for a full day in Cusco to recover from your journey and enjoy the sights and sounds of Cusco before setting off on your trek. Here are some suggestions for activities to do in the area around Cusco before starting your adventure trek:
