Recommendations
To fully enjoy the Qeswachaka Inca Bridge Tour, we recommend spending at least one day acclimatizing in Cusco before taking the tour, as the region is located at high altitude.
Wear comfortable clothing in layers, since temperatures in the Andes can change quickly throughout the day. A warm jacket and comfortable walking shoes are highly recommended, especially if you plan to walk across the bridge or explore the surrounding viewpoints.
Bring sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat to protect yourself from the strong mountain sun. It is also advisable to carry a reusable water bottle and light snacks to stay hydrated and energized during the journey.
For photography lovers, this tour offers incredible opportunities to capture the dramatic landscapes of the Andes and the impressive view of the Apurímac River flowing beneath the bridge.
