Waterfalls of Gocta: Why Go
The remote area of Chachapoyas in the north of Peru is surrounded by high mountains with rainforests and is only accessible via a spectacular route along rugged landscapes with mountain passes and valleys.
The Gocta Cataracts are the third highest waterfalls in the world. Gocta had been known for centuries by the local community, but its existence was made known after an expedition in 2005 by a German man who travelled with Peruvian explorers. They stated that the total height measured 771 meters (2,530ft).
