The hike to Perolniyoc Archaeological Site is a tour that offers one of the best landscapes in the Sacred Valley. It is an unusual path that hides a wonderful waterfall more than 50 meters high, as well as the Pre-inca Archaeological Site of Perolniyoc, located at the top of the waterfall.

Perolniyoc Falls are located in the community of Socma, approximately 50 kilometers north of Cusco City, towards the village of Ollantaytambo, in the Sacred Valley.

The hike starts in the village of Socma and ends at the Racaypata Archaeological Center.

Remember that with Inkayni Peru Tours, the tour begins and ends by leaving you at your hotel.

Currently, you can visit the Perolniyoc waterfall without paying an entrance fee or any cost.

The Perolniyoc tour hike can be classified as easy to moderate because much of the route is semi-flat. However, some steep parts may require a little more physical effort.

It lasts approximately 6 hours (one way).

It is the dry season (May – October), during these months you can enjoy mostly sunny days and clear skies.

The average temperature during the day is 18°C, however, note that at night the temperature drops to 2°C.

The recommended age for this tour is 12 years, as the hike has difficulty ranging from easy to moderate due to the characteristics of the terrain.
