Hidden in the Amazon jungle, the majestic Gocta Falls is 2531 feet high and flows into the beautiful Cocahuayco River. Gocta waterfalls are probably somewhere between the third and sixth longest waterfalls in the world. The half of the trail to get to the waterfalls is exposed to the sun, dont forget your sunscreen and your hat. At some point of the trail you will have an incredible view of the fall from a distance before reaching the bottom. You can take a refreshing dip in the natural pond. The whole trail takes approximately 5 hours round trip. If you have limited mobility, you can hire a horse for about $13 USD.

The most beautiful in the world is, of course, the world itself.

Located in Chachapoyas in the amazon, 700 km northeast of Lima

How to get there:

The easiest way to get to the waterfall is to fly to the city of Jaen from Lima, then it takes about four hours to reach Chachapoyas. From there you can book a tour for 20-30$ or find your way up to Cocachimba town and hike to the waterfalls on your own.
