Overview

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.
