Our journey kicks off bright and early as we head out from the city of Cusco toward the fertile South Valley. After a scenic drive surrounded by stunning high-Andean landscapes, we will make our first stop in the small town of Cusipata for a hearty, energizing breakfast made with local ingredients—the perfect fuel for the day ahead.Once we are fueled up, we will hop back into our private transport to head deep into the high provinces of Canas. Along the way, we will take a quick break at the unique Pabellones Mini-Volcano in Combapata, a fascinating and rare miniature geological formation, before driving through the historic town of Yanaoca. Shortly after, we will begin our descent into the breathtaking canyon of the Apurímac River.The absolute highlight of the day arrives when we hit the district of Q'ewe. Here, your guide will lead you on a short walk down to the last Inca suspension bridge. You will have plenty of time to marvel at this incredible 30-meter-long structure made entirely of woven grass, take jaw-dropping photos of the canyon, and listen to the rich history of the communities that rebuild it year after year. If you are up for a thrill, you can actually walk across the rope bridge and feel the same rush of adrenaline that Inca runners (chasquis) felt centuries ago.After soaking in this ancient wonder, we will start making our way back, driving along the beautiful Four Lagoons circuit: Pampamarca, Asnacqocha, Acopía, and Pomacanchi. This scenic drive includes strategic stops at natural viewpoints, perfect for spotting local wildlife like Andean flamingos and wild ducks while enjoying the mirror-like reflection of the sky on the water.
