A beautiful place, the photos do not do justice to its beauty!!!. Easy trek from the Socma community. Can be done in an hour or hour and a half tops. From there to the Raqypata ruins up top is another 30 minutes, the place is very well kept and the view is so pretty. I took Peru Tripper agency which also included the visit to Ñaupa Iglesia, this last has long stairs that you can arrive up and admire all the views and ruins.

This was my third time traveling to the Cusco area. While the family I was traveling with headed to Machu Picchu, we were looking for something interesting to do in Urubamba. I googled around and found this hike. I was super pleasantly surprised. The hike was somewhat challenging, all uphill. The views of the valley and the mountains are so pristine and untouched, and the waterfall is a bonus to the hike. The whole deal cost 100 solas, from our house in Urubamba, for the guide to take us on the full hike, and back. It was well worth it. Look, you have to see Machu Picchu and Maras/Moray, those are unique to the region. But if you have some extra time and are looking for something also truly magnificent in an underrated way, check out this hike.
