Full day Gocta Falls in Chachapoyas

About this activity

Dare to discover the innermost side of Gocta, following a little-explored trail that leads to the imposing second fall of the waterfall, where nature manifests itself in its purest state. The tour enters the Amazonian cloud forest, a living stage where exotic birdsong, butterfly flight and the presence of unique flora accompany each step, creating an unforgettable sensory experience.

This journey not only connects with extraordinary landscapes, but also with the spirit of the Cocachimba community, with whom we work hand in hand to promote responsible and authentic tourism. Here, each visit contributes to the conservation of the environment and local development, transforming your adventure into a conscious, deep and truly meaningful experience.
