We will continue by car until the impressive Inca bridge. This hanging Inca bridge is made of vegetable fiber (Ichu) and is located on the Apurímac River in the Quehue district. • The existence of this bridge dates back to Inca times. The maintenance and renovation is done once a year by local people from the surrounding communities. Before beginning with the renovation of the bridge, an offering is given as a sign of respect and gratitude to Pachamama. We will have the opportunity to cross the Inca bridge from both sides. But be careful, it seems easy, but it takes courage.

Beautiful bridge and...
Beautiful bridge and mountains, very twisty turny roads about 4 hours from Cusco. Breakfast and lunch were mediocre at best.

I did not know how I was...
I did not know how I was put into a Spanish group when I booked for English tour. The tour guide was not able to speak any English. If I knew this earlier, I wouldn’t have woken up at 4am for this tour. I had to depend two other kind chicas to translate some things to English for me. The journey was long just to see a bridge and a few lagoons. There was a reason why this was not as popular of a tour compared to others. The good thing though was that this was a super chill tour, at times kind of boring. The guide did not seem to be as experience, with little explanation (even in Spanish) and there’s no good time management so we ended up waiting around.

Breathtaking!
This was a great experience and so much more than expected. I had Roland as a guide. Know that it is a full day but the drive and the additional stops to and from the bridge are broken up wisely. I actually really loved seeing the volcano and the four lagoons and flamingos more than I expected, breakfast and lunch stops were a nice touch, and and of course, the bridge experience and knowledge provided by our guide were top-notch. He provided interpretation in both Spanish and Engligh for the entire group which was all more impressive. Countless breath-taking photo opportunities once you get to the canyon and bridge! Do it, and bring 25 soles extra for entry fees to volcano and bridge portions of the tour.

Community builds bridge
Really liked the bridge. 4 communities come together each year to rebuild. Our tour guide seemed to really work with the local people helping them tell their stories. Guide also helped me when he learned I was having trouble with the altitude and with some phone issues.. I needed to fix a travel problem.

Spectacular
I had a great experience, the guide explained how this bridge is done every year, I enjoyed seeing the 4 lagoons, it can be seen that the agency cares about providing good service and training its guides.
Response from the operator: Agradecemos mucho tu opinión. Fue un placer para nosotros formar parte de esta aventura. Todo el equipo de Machu Picchu Journey está muy contento con su opinión, nos motiva a seguir trabajando para brindar este tipo de experiencias Hasta la próxima.

Excursion to Q'eswachaca Bridge - Tour Group: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.
How much does Excursion to Q'eswachaca Bridge - Tour Group cost?
+
Prices start at $30 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cusco usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Excursion to Q'eswachaca Bridge - Tour Group take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Cusco is not rushed.
Is Excursion to Q'eswachaca Bridge - Tour Group worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.2/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cusco, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Excursion to Q'eswachaca Bridge - Tour Group?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Excursion to Q'eswachaca Bridge - Tour Group suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Excursion to Q'eswachaca Bridge - Tour Group?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Cusco can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Cusco and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Excursion to Q'eswachaca Bridge - Tour Group start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Cusco within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Cusco?
+
On Outty we rank every Cusco experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Sacred Valley Full Day Tour, Peruvian Cooking Class Cocktails and Market Tour in Cusco, Cusco: Rainbow Mountain & Red Valley Premium Day Trip with Meals. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Cusco?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Cusco?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
