Peru Waterfalls (or more accurately Perú Waterfalls) take a back seat to the more famous archaeological attractions in the country. However, as you can see on this page, we’ve also gone away from the so-called “Gringo Trail” explored the Peruvean waterfalls.

And this resulted in a more authentic and back-to-nature experience that most people wouldn’t typically get if they stuck with the obvious spots like Cusco, Sacred Valley, and Machu Picchu.

While I did have to battle a bad case of food poisoning on our waterfall pursuits to the northern part of Peru, as you can see from the map, we still managed to see a handful of them. We’re certainly due for a return trip to this very mountainous country, where I’m sure we’re likely to see even more of the country’s waterfalls.

But in the mean time, browse through this page, and use our experiences for your own trip planning needs…
