Wollomombi Falls is a 220-260m waterfall with Chandler Falls as a companion seen from lookouts across their gorge. They didn’t flow well on our visit, however.

This trip pertains to a quick fully escorted trip to Peru. It not only included the typical Cusco-Machu Picchu itinerary (i.e. the so-called “Gringo Trail”), but we also spent the majority of our time in the Amazonas Region of Northern Peru…

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…

Catarata Gocta (Gocta Falls) is a 771m waterfall ‘discovered’ by the Western World in 2005. We accessed the falls from the villages of Cocachimba and San Pablo.

Catarata de Yumbilla is a thin 890m waterfall plunging in several tiers in Northern Peru. We accessed this waterfall on a muddy hike from the village Cuispes.

Catarata de Chinata was an impressive 580m waterfall plunging in three visible tiers then cascading further into the jungle. In theory, we should’ve been able to get a pretty clean direct view…
