More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You clip into the harness at a sunlit clearing above the community of Raqchi and the wind immediately takes the measure of you—nudging you along the first of four long cables that cross terraces carved by Inca hands. From the line the valley opens: stepped fields fall away toward a ribbon of river, alpacas graze on slopes, and the Andes press the horizon into jagged teeth.

Acclimatize first
Spend a day or two in Cusco to reduce altitude effects before the activity; strenuous bursts at altitude hit harder if you’re unacclimatized.
Wear closed-toe shoes
Sturdy trainers or light hiking shoes help with short approaches, landings and the suspension bridge; sandals are not suitable.
Stay hydrated and sun-protected
High-altitude sun is strong—bring water, SPF and sunglasses to avoid sunburn and dehydration during the 3–4 hour excursion.
Check weight & health limits
Operators require weight and health screening—declare previous spinal, heart or pregnancy issues and confirm weight limits when booking.
Closed-toe hiking shoes
Provide grip on uneven ground at launch and landing points and protect feet during short approaches.
Light windproof jacket
Shields against chill and wind at high exposure on the lines.
spring
Sunglasses and sunscreen
Protect against strong UV at altitude and glare from open valley viewpoints.
summer
