The ascent is moderated by a path that takes us to Bosque de Piedras in the high part to admire the colors, landscapes and mountains that this wonderful place offers us.

The Palccoyo Mountain of Colors is the combination of the shades of the colors of the mountains and the diversity of landscapes that are seen as glaciers and a forest of stone that as we ascend the rocks are changing shapes playing with our imagination.

Then we descend and head to the province of Canas, district of Quehue, to find the last Inca bridge over the Apurimac River, a word that comes from the Quechua words Apu and Rimac, which means "The oracle or Great Talker".

The impressive bridge is 33 meters long and 1.20 meters wide and swings 15 meters over the river. Every year it is renovated using ancient Inca techniques, relying on communal labor. About 1000 farmers from the communities of Winchiri, Ccolana, Quehue, Chaupibanda and Choccayhua are involved in the construction of this unique suspension bridge of Inca origin, which was declared by UNESCO as intangible cultural heritage.

We continue and on our route we make a stop at a very mysterious place, the caves of Qarañahui. You can observe the formations of stalactites and stalagmites, and for people who love adventures is an indescribable feeling that is mixed between fear and the desire to discover new things.
