Discover the last living Inca bridge and the spectacular landscapes of the four lagoons circuit.

Cusco, Pomacanchi Lagoon, Acopia Lagoon, Asnacocha Lagoon, Pampamarca Lagoon, Tupac Amaru II Village, Q'eswachaka Bridge

The tour to the Q’eswachaka Inca Bridge and the 4 Lagoons Circuit is a fully immersive experience that combines the grandeur of Inca history, living culture, and majestic natural landscapes south of Cusco. During this full-day journey, we will cross traditional Andean communities to visit the impressive circuit made up of the Pomacanchi, Acopia, Asnacocha, and Pampamarca lagoons, all surrounded by incredible ecological wealth and panoramic views.

The highlight of the adventure is the imposing Q’eswachaka suspension bridge, the last Inca bridge kept in use through ancestral engineering. Every year, local communities rebuild it by hand using woven ichu grass fibers, preserving a centuries-old tradition. You will have the unique opportunity to cross the bridge over the Apurimac River canyon and be part of this incomparable cultural heritage.
