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.

    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.
