PEROLNIYOC WATERFALL FULL DAY
As Cataratas de Perolniyoc é uma joia escondida que nos presenteia com algumas das paisagens mais incríveis do Vale Sagrado!
Esse é um destino fora do circuito tradicional, que esconde uma maravilhosa cachoeira com mais de 45 metros de altura, além de um sítio arqueológico pré-inca com vistas espetaculares das montanhas do Vale Sagrado.
A trilha começa na comunidade de Socma, e após cerca de 1h30min de caminhada, você chegará ao sítio arqueológico de Raqaypata (também conhecido como ruínas de Perolniyoc), localizado no topo da cachoeira. Lá você terá bastante tempo para curtir a paisagem e tirar fotos incríveis antes de voltar para Socma.
Nossa próxima e última parada será no Centro Arqueológico de Ñaupa Iglesia, um antigo templo cerimonial dedicado à Lua.
E se ainda quiser mais, peça ao seu guia uma parada rápida na Sacred Valley Brewery, a poucos quilômetros de Ñaupa Iglesia, onde você pode aproveitar uma boa cerveja artesanal — considerada uma das melhores de Cusco.
