We travel south through Andean landscapes, passing through Combapata and Yanaoca, where rural life preserves its ancestral essence. Along the way, we stop to photograph the high-altitude lagoons Pampamarca, Asnacocha, Acopia, and Pomacanchi, known for their intense turquoise hues. Upon arrival at the bridge, you learn about its history, annual reconstruction, and cultural significance, and you will have the opportunity to cross this ancestral suspension bridge over the Apurímac River.
