Yumbilla Falls
The world's fifth tallest waterfall is a spectacular silver chute of water that cuts through the cloud forest in northern Peru.
Know Before You Go.
You need a guide to enter the Bosque de Cataratas Gigantes, which you can arrange in Chachapoyas through Canyoning Explorer (an agency that specializes in canyoning and rappelling down Yumbilla and other nearby falls) or in Cuispes, the small town nearest to the falls. Once inside, a well-made circuit of trails takes you from one waterfall to the next. From Cuispes, you should be able to reach Yumbilla within two hours.
