Highlights
At more than 3,460 meters high is the archaeological center of Perolniyoq, in the district of Ollantaytambo (Urubamba – Cusco). For centuries, Perolniyoq was covered by vegetation; nevertheless, the little care threatened that this architectural and archaeological jewel disappeared completely. It sits on the Soqma the Perolniyoc waterfall, which has a drop of 45 meters of pure, crystal clear water. In this place were built two-storey houses, Qolqas that served as warehouses, lodging rooms called kallankas and a ceremonial enclosure.

Itinerary
At 7:00 am we will come to pick you up from your hotel in Cusco, we will drive through the sacred valley passing through Chinchero, Urubamba, where we will appreciate the scene that shows us this amazing place and in 1 hour and 30 minutes we will arrive at our first place of visit Ñaupa Church. Ñaupa Church was a very special huaca, because in addition to being a place of worship to the mallquis (mummies) of their ancestors (as shown by the large niche or the stone wall niche), it had to be the site of great announcements of associated astronomical events to the fulfillment of rituals in specific dates of the agricultural calendar, the alignments demonstrate it.
The water of the Perolniyoc waterfall has a drop of approximately 45m, and with an exceptionally particular mark, in its fall, a thin layer that together with the sun’s rays, seems to shine there.
After enjoying this impressive waterfall, we will have our gourmet lunch with drinks that our guide will give you and then we will have the third place to visit, which is the archaeological site of Perolniyoc located at the top of the waterfall, and we will have an explanation from our guide. Finally, we will return to Cusco, we will arrive around 5:30 pm.

About Cusco
Cusco, the old Inca capital high in the Peruvian Andes, blends massive stone walls with colonial churches and is the gateway to Machu Picchu.
The Plaza de Armas is the heart of the city, framed by the cathedral and the Jesuit church of La Compañía. Inca stonework survives throughout the centre, most famously at the Qorikancha, the sun temple on which the Spanish built a monastery, and in the twelve-angled stone on Hatun Rumiyoc street. San Blas, the artisans' quarter, climbs steeply with workshops and cafés.
Top-ranked sights in Cusco: Aguas Calientes, Machu Picchu, Ollantaytambo Ruins.
