Discover one of Cusco’s most beautiful hidden treasures on this half-day hike to Perolniyoq Waterfall and Qorimarca Inca ruins, a perfect blend of nature, history, and Andean culture. This off-the-beaten-path adventure is ideal for those seeking an authentic Sacred Valley experience without the crowds.
Your journey begins in the peaceful village of Soqma, nestled in the Andean highlands. From there, you’ll hike through stunning mountain scenery, terraced farmlands, and native flora as you ascend toward the majestic Perolniyoq Waterfall—one of the tallest waterfalls in the Cusco region.
After a short break, the trek continues to the ancient Inca archaeological site of Qorimarca, where you’ll explore the remains of a once-important ceremonial and agricultural center used by the Incas.
This moderate hike offers a rich experience in a short amount of time, perfect for travelers with limited days who still want to connect with the natural beauty and history of the Andes.
Your adventure begins with a pickup from your hotel in Cusco between 7:00 AM and 7:30 AM. We’ll drive to Mauka Iglesia, a sacred pre-Inca ceremonial site known for its mysterious stone carvings and powerful energy—an excellent introduction to the spiritual richness of the Andes.
After a brief visit, we continue to Rafqa (2,800 m) and then to Soqma Village (3,000 m), the starting point of our hike. Before setting out, we’ll enjoy a quick snack to fuel the journey.
Our first trek segment is a scenic 1.5-hour hike to Perolniyoq Waterfall (3,300 m), one of the tallest and most beautiful waterfalls in the Cusco region. You’ll have time to relax, take photos, and enjoy the views before continuing.
From the waterfall, we hike 40 more minutes to reach the Qorimarka Inca ruins, where we’ll explore this ancient archaeological site for about 50 minutes, learning about its history and significance in the Sacred Valley.
After the visit, we begin our return to Cusco, arriving around 3:00 PM to 3:30 PM.
