Fure Waterfall
Catarata de Huaruro (Fure)
A waterfall about 100 meters tall near the village of Fure on the north side of the canyon, one of the most spectacular stretches of the multi-day trekking routes.
Fure is a small village in a side valley on the north side of the canyon. From the village, it is about another hour's walk to Huaruro Waterfall (commonly called Fure Waterfall), where water pours down a cliff roughly 100 meters high, surrounded by steep canyon walls and cactus-covered slopes. It is usually part of the Llahuar–Fure–Tapay–Sangalle loop, and the round trip from Llahuar takes about 5 hours. The village has simple campsites and guesthouses. The trail is steep and requires good fitness, so consider hiring a guide or using an offline map.
