Catarata de Corontachaca was a pleasant waterfall surprise (at least one we didn't expect to see on our trip) sitting several minutes west of the town of Pedro Ruiz. I was told the falls has a 90m drop, but I'm more apt to believe it's more of a 30m (around 90ft) drop judging how Julie compared to the falls when she stood in front of it. She was able to get there since there was a path that allowed us to walk right up to its base. But for all intents and purposes, this was a roadside waterfall, and for once, we didn't have to go trekking to access it.
I guess on our trip, this kind of made up for our inability to see Catarata de Ahuashiyacu (due to road construction) near Tarapoto at the doorstep of the Amazon.
Directions: According to my notes, our driver spotted this waterfall about 15 minutes west of Pedro Ruiz (as we were headed all the way to Chiclayo).
