Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Is it safe to cross the Q'eswachaka bridge?

Yes. Every June, the bridge is entirely replaced with fresh Q'oya grass. It is engineered to hold several tons. During the Authentic Q'eswachaka Incan Living Bridge Tour, your guide will instruct you on the safest way to cross.

How long is the drive from Cusco?

The drive is approximately 3.5 hours each way. However, we break up the journey with scenic stops at the Four Lagoons and a nutritious breakfast to make it an enjoyable part of the Authentic Q'eswachaka Incan Living Bridge Tour.

What is the best time of year to visit?

The bridge is beautiful year-round, but the dry season (April to November) offers the clearest skies for photography. The actual reconstruction festival takes place during the second week of June.

Can children and seniors join the Authentic Q'eswachaka Incan Living Bridge Tour?

Absolutely. The walk to the bridge is short (10-15 minutes). As long as participants can handle a gentle incline and the altitude, it is a family-friendly experience.

How does this tour support the local communities?

We avoid intermediaries. We pay entrance fees directly to the Quehue communities and support local families by incorporating their services and products into our Authentic Q'eswachaka Incan Living Bridge Tour.
