Inka Bridge (Bridge 1 Hour Round Trip)
This hike is to the south west of Machu Picchu,
a nice original trail that overlooks the
Aobamba valley and the Hydro-electric plant.
SIGNATURE COLLECTION
This Inca Bridge is a part of a mountain trail
that heads west from Machu Picchu. The trail
is a stone path, part of which is cut into a cliff
face. A twenty-foot gap was left in this
section of the carved cliff face, over a 1,900
feet drop that could be bridged with two tree
trunks. When the tree trunks were removed
then the trail became impassable to outsiders.
The path is narrow and paved with original
Inca stones.
The steep trail continues on and climbs the
side of the mountain, leading adventurous
travelers to a remote corner of this
archaeological site. In addition to a
magnificent bird's-eye view of Machu Picchu, the summit also offers a perfect vantage point to the canyon of
the Vilcanota River, the mountain of Putukusi and the distant snow-capped Andean peaks.
