Four Lagoons and Q`eswachaka bridge tour full day
The Q’eswachaka Bridge is the star here: a living Inca-era tradition rebuilt each year by local communities from ichu grass. You can cross it above the Apurímac River, then spend the day among four highland lagoons and broad Andean scenery.
I like the strong mix of culture and nature, and I like that breakfast, lunch, a guide, and transport are included for $50. The catch is the long road day. You leave around 5 a.m., spend roughly six hours in the van, and rough roads can make the ride tiring.
