"The Poc Poc Waterfall is a hidden gem in the Sacred Valley that I'm pleased I found and can share with you here in this guide. It is a perfect place to visit for a day tour from Cusco or any other town in the Sacred Valley.
The view of the waterfall is beautiful, and the hike is not very demanding. Unfortunately, swimming in the area is not possible, and there is no proper space for that. However, you can still appreciate the view and feel the cold water dropping on you once you are there.
The hike starts from Chinchero, passes by the Inca ruins in the town, and ends up at the waterfall. If you want to extend the hike and see more nature, you can continue towards the town of Urquillos. Once there, you can easily find colectivos to return to Cusco or other parts of the Sacred Valley.
🏅 ACTIVITIES
You can take great pictures of the Inca ruins and the waterfall in this place, which are very picturesque. Besides photography, hiking is the main activity in this place.
🚶♀️HIKING
For a short hike, start from Chinchero and visit the Inca ruins and the waterfall at the end. After that, you can return the same way, resulting in a short 5km hike.
To extend the adventure, you can hike from Poc Poc to Urquillos. It's a nice hike where you will see more Inca ruins on the way and be blessed with great views of the Urubamba River at the end of the hike. From Urquillos, you can easily find colectivos to bring you to Cusco or other parts of the Sacred Valley.
🚃 TRANSPORTATION
You can find colectivos to Chinchero from Cusco at the Grau bridge (check the link section). If you are in Pisac or Ollantaytambo, you must take a colectivo to Urubamba first and another to Chinchero."

"The waterfall is impressive, its water flow is strong and if you stay too close you will end up completely wet."
