Perolniyoc
Perolniyoc is a beautiful waterfall located in the Cusco region, Peru, specifically in the Limatambo district, in the Anta province. This waterfall, approximately 50 meters high, is a little-known tourist attraction, surrounded by stunning natural scenery. The water flow originates from a river that descends from nearby mountains, creating a spectacular view in a green, mountainous environment.
The name of Perolniyoc remains a mystery, as although various investigations have been conducted, its original name has not been determined. However, local inhabitants call it Perolniyoc because of two large depressions in the ground that resemble large containers. This is where the words "perol", meaning pot or large container, and "Niyoc", meaning "that has", come from. Although the archaeological site is known by this name, it is believed that its original name was Raqaypata, which is composed of two Quechua terms: "Raqay", meaning storage or shelter, and "pata", meaning elevated place. Therefore, Raqaypata would translate to "place of roofless enclosures" and Perolniyoc to "the one that has pots."
Perolniyoc is popular among travelers seeking quieter experiences away from traditional tourist routes and is often combined with visits to other nearby archaeological sites. Access to the site is generally via a trail that allows you to enjoy the natural beauty of the area, making it a unique experience for ecotourism lovers.
