Day 1: Perolniyoc Waterfall and Ñaupa Church Tour Itinerary
We begin our Perolniyoc Waterfall and Ñaupa Church Full Day Tour by picking up from your hotels between 07:00 am and 07:30 am. Then we will head for an hour towards the town of Socma located around the Sacred Valley .
There we will make the final preparations before the start of the journey, then we begin the one-hour uphill hike to the Racaypata or Perolniyoc archaeological site , which is at an altitude of 3550 meters above sea level. During the journey we will appreciate the daily life of the inhabitants of the area, and the crops of this valley.
Once at the Racaypata archaeological site , our guide will explain its function in ancient times . After the guided tour, we will begin the descent to the spectacular Perolniyoc waterfall , which has a drop of approximately 100 meters. You will have enough time to take photos and have a dip in the cold, crystal-clear waters of the waterfall. Then we will continue the descent to Socma, where we will return to the transport that will then take us for about 25 minutes to Ñaupa Iglesia Choqella (the old temple where gold shines), a ceremonial center where the Incas offered payments to the earth , the apus (mountain spirits), the Sun, and the Moon.
Finally, we returned to Cusco to drop him off near the Plaza de Armas, thus ending our Perolniyoc Waterfall and Ñaupa Church Full Day tour .
