About this tour
The Q’eswachaka bridge (Q’iswa chaka, “bridge of braided grass rope”) is a suspension bridge woven from ichu grass in Quehue, Canas province, at about 3,700 m above the Apurímac River. It dates back to Inca times, and the communities of Huinchiri, Chaupibanda, Ccollana Quehue and Choccayhua renew it every year in an ancestral ritual. It is 28 meters long and 1.20 meters wide.
