Exploring Q'arañahui and Qeswachaca the Last Rope Bridge
Across the Pomacanchis Lake about four hours from Cusco lies the Inka bridge of Qeswachaka. Made of reed-like grasses which are native to the area, the hanging bridge served as an important means of transport across the Apurimac Canyon and also as a security checkpoint to thwart the arrival of foreign enemies.
Every summer in June local supporters participate in the annual bridge-building festival, a project dedicated to its maintenance and restoration. The visit is usually followed by a private geological exploration and photo-op of the nearby Q’arañahui Caves.
