Yumbilla Falls
Catarata de Yumbilla
A multi-tier waterfall with a total drop of about 895 m, ranked among the world’s tallest. It can be reached on foot from the village of Cuispes.
Yumbilla Falls lies near the village of Cuispes. In 2007 its total drop was measured at about 895 m, which places it among the tallest waterfalls in the world. The water falls in four tiers down the cliffs of the cloud forest. From the village registration point, the walk to the viewpoint takes about 1.5 to 2 hours, and you pass other small waterfalls along the way. It draws fewer visitors than Gocta, and the trail is gentler. It is about 60 km from Chachapoyas and can be combined with Gocta in a two-day northern itinerary.
