Itinerary and highlights

At more than 3,700 meters of altitude, breathing becomes difficult and the headache persists. In this hidden place of the Andes, there is a splendid Andean engineering work 28 meters long and 1.20 wide that persists to modernity.

A tradition that for the rural communities of Huinchiri, Chaupibanda, Choccayhua and Ccollana Quehue has subsisted for more than five centuries thanks to the intercession of divinity. «If we don't build a new bridge every year, we risk provoking the wrath of the Pachamama and the apus, every June they have the task of rebuilding the Inca bridge still persistent in modernity
