Be awed by the Qeswachaka Bridge, a majestic pre-Incan suspension bridge in Peru still used today. Here’s how you can visit it:
This Inca Bridge stands over the Apurimac River, approximately 3700 meters above sea level, in Canas, District of Quehue, 160 kilometers south of Cusco.
This province has a cold climate and two well-defined seasons:
The rainy season covers the months of January to March; it is possible to see the presence of rain. Likewise, the maximum temperature is 15 °C and goes down to 5 °C.
The low rainy season is from April to December; during this period, the maximum temperature is 18 °C and the minimum is four °C.
What should be noted is that from June to August, the temperature can drop to -3 C, so the cold is quite intense during these months.
The name Qeswachaka comes from the Quechua letters “Q’eswa,” which means braid, and “Chaka,” which means bridge; we can conclude then that it is a braid bridge.
The material used to build this impressive hanging bridge is ichu of the Q’oya variety (straw or vegetable fiber), grass from the highest areas of the Andes. For the base, thin branches are called “Kallapos.”
The extraordinary bridge is 28 meters long and 1.20 meters wide and swings 30 meters over the Apurimac River.
Unesco recognized the Bridge Renewal Ceremony as an “Intangible Cultural Heritage” in 2013 because this bridge was part of the extended network of roads.
Women do the braiding for the new bridge, supervised by the “Chakaruwak,” or specialists in constructing the bridge.
Suspension bridges were used more than stone bridges during the colonial period because of their excellent earthquake resistance. From September 14 to 21, the festivity of the “Señor de la Exaltación” (Lord of the Exaltation) stands, which is the area’s patron saint.
Travelers who love nature will be excited to discover a hidden world south of Cusco. This area is a whole of local cultural enigmatic history. It is located only 3 hour’s drive from Cusco.
This full-day tour is an option for those who wish to know the mysteries of traveling to Cusco, history, and culture; besides, ancestral traditions await you on this tour, perfect for traveling with family and children. The stories the local people tell will be the main advantage of doing the excursion on the Inca Bridge of Queswachaca.
