This tour is unlike any other. The Q’eswachaka bridge, perched over the Apurimac river at approximately 3,900m (13,000 feet) in the province of Canas, is handwoven from grass and stretches 120 feet in length. Remarkably, the bridge is reconstructed every one or two years in a group endeavor involving the locals. Roughly 700 men and women from the Huinchiri and Ccollana communities gather at Q’eswachaka to celebrate the formation of the bridge during a festival. The festivities conclude on the second Sunday in June, showcasing traditional dances and allowing visitors to traverse the newly built bridge. Visitors are also encouraged to come in preceding days to witness the ongoing construction.

The weaving and construction methods used can be traced back to when the Incas originally created the bridge, passed down over generations. Uniquely, it is the lone surviving “Inca” hanging bridge that remains intact today.
