Four Lagoons and Q`eswachaka bridge tour full day

The star of this long Cusco day is the Q’eswachaka Bridge, a handwoven suspension bridge made from ichu grass and rebuilt each year by local communities. You can cross it above the Apurímac River, then spend time at four highland lagoons where birds, open views, and quiet air replace the noise of Cusco.

I like the mix of living Inca tradition and ordinary Andean life, especially the chance to see a bridge that is still made and renewed by hand. I also like the four-lagoon circuit, which gives you a wider view of the Cusco Region than a standard city tour. The drawback is the long road day: expect about six hours in the van, and rough sections can be tiring or uncomfortable.
