Peru Waterfall Destinations
PeruPeru has two major waterfall destinations: The Gocta Falls in the Chachapoyas Region and the Mandor Falls just outside of Machu Picchu. If you are visiting the Chachapoyas Cloud Forest or the ancient Inca citadel, take the time to trek out to these waterfalls and enjoy nature's own spa!
Gocta Waterfall is one of the tallest waterfalls in the world, and the source of an interesting legend about a murderous mermaid meant to scare people off from swimming in the plunge pool. Only 'discovered' by outsiders in 2005, the two-tiered falls can be seen from miles around and the trek there — on foot or horseback — is beautiful.
Mandor Falls are just a short hike from Aguas Calientes, just outside of Machu Picchu. With a few different falls and pools perfect for taking a dip, Mandor is a great place to come in celebration of a Machu Picchu trek!

I really could not be happier. The Anywhere Team made me feel like a VIP my entire time in Peru. The hotels were very nice & safe. The food was fantastic. Transportation was smooth, nice trains, safe airlines. I recommend Peru to all travelers!
We Conquered Huayna Picchu
This was a very personal experience and Anywhere.com does an amazing job of having agents who are cultured and/or very familiar with the country to which you wish to visit. This allows the agent to listen to what you want to experience and then match you up with the right outfitter, vendor, excursion group, etc...I felt like Sara Nizama truly listened to my wants/needs and made them a reality. I am so happy with my Peru experience, thanks to Sara and her team. I want to go back soon and explore more of Peru with the help of Sara and her team. Thank you!
