12 day expedition to the highest waterfalls in the world, the mountainous land of coffee and deep into the Amazon jungle

Lima - chachapoyas - gocta and Yumbilla waterfall - kuelap - karajia - tarapoto - Laguna azul - Iquitos - lima

Peru is a fascinating combination of Inca history, colonial heritage and wildlife. The journey begins in Lima and we fly north to Chachapoyas, where the mighty waterfalls are hidden – Gocta (771 m, 15th highest in the world) and the lesser known but higher Yumbilla (895 m, 5th highest in the world). Nearby is the mysterious fortress of Kuelap, often compared to Machu Picchu, although older and less crowded. Further east lies Tarapoto, the tropical city of Selva Alta, from where you can easily reach the picturesque Ahuashiyacu waterfall and Laguna Azul – a fabulous lake surrounded by lush vegetation. It is the perfect place to relax, swim and admire the sunset from a hammock over the water. You can also try local cuisine here and visit nearby cocoa and coffee plantations. In Iquitos, the largest city in the world without road access, a real adventure on the Amazon begins – encounters with pink dolphins, monkeys and exotic birds. We will embark on a two-day jungle safari, where we will explore the Amazonian forest both during the day and at night. We plan to fish for piranhas, track wildlife, observe birds at dawn and learn about medicinal plants. We will spend the night deep in the Amazon, surrounded by the sounds of the tropical forest.

Weather and Climate

January is a good time to travel to this part of Peru. It is the middle of the rainy season, but the trails are still easy to navigate and the waterfalls are impressive in their power. The temperature will be pleasantly warm throughout the trip, so you don't have to worry about it - perfect conditions for an unforgettable adventure!

More Difficult Route

The route has a medium level of difficulty - the ascent to the waterfalls takes about 1-1.5 hours. The first part of the expedition is the mountainous terrain of the Andes, and in the Amazon you will find the Jungle Safari and nights away from civilization, in the heart of the jungle. In the Adventure Park you can choose adventures full of adrenaline - the perfect complement to this unforgettable journey!

Start of the Expedition

1 - 4 days

Chachapoyas,
Gotta, Yumbilla,
Kuelap and Karajia

Our adventure will begin with a bang! After arriving in Chachapoyas, we will set off towards one of the most spectacular waterfalls in Peru – Gocta. This majestic, two-stage giant, 771 meters high, has remained hidden in mountain valleys for centuries. Now we will have the opportunity not only to admire it, but also to feel its power, standing at its feet. The next stop will be the Yumbilla waterfall – one of the highest in the world. Its four-cascade structure and narrow but powerful stream of water create a landscape that takes your breath away. It is a completely different spectacle of nature than Gocta, and its mystical aura makes this place memorable for a long time. During the expedition, we will also delve into the history of the mysterious Chachapoyas people, visiting the impressive ruins of Kuelap. Situated high in the mountains, surrounded by dense vegetation, they are often called the “Peruvian Machu Picchu”, although older and just as fascinating. There will also be a visit to the Karajia sarcophagi – unique, anthropomorphic tombs placed high on rocky cliffs. These unique structures testify to the advanced culture of the ancient inhabitants of the region. The trip to Chachapoyas will be complemented by short, picturesque stops on the way to Tarapoto, allowing us to feel the atmosphere of this extraordinary part of Peru even better. This is a trip full of adventures, breathtaking views and stories waiting to be discovered!
After reaching Tarapoto, another dose of adventure awaits us! We will start with the waterfalls, and among them we will visit the most famous in the region - Ahuashiyacu. Hidden in the tropical jungle, it attracts with turquoise water and a refreshing atmosphere, ideal for a moment of relaxation after intense hikes. We do not slow down! Tarapoto and the surrounding area are a mecca for lovers of outdoor activities, so we will test our strength in the local Adventure Park, where rope bridges, zip-lines and other attractions guaranteeing unforgettable emotions await us. This region is also famous for one of the best coffees in Peru, so we will visit a plantation to learn about the entire process of its production - from growing beans to an aromatic cup of ready brew. Tasting freshly roasted coffee in the heart of the Peruvian mountains is an experience that cannot be missed! The area around Tarapoto is also rich in spectacular viewpoints, so there will be no shortage of magical sunsets, which we will admire from the best places in the region. After intense days among waterfalls and mountain landscapes, it's time for the next stage of the expedition - an Amazonian adventure! We will say goodbye to Tarapoto and head towards Iquitos, where a completely new version of the Peruvian jungle awaits us.

4 - 7 days

Tarapoto,
Selva Alta, Laguna Azul and the best coffee

First, we will visit Belén – an extraordinary city on stilts, where houses float on the water, adjusting to the changing level of the Amazon. We will also visit the local Mercado – one of the most fascinating markets in the world, full of exotic products, unknown fruits, medicinal herbs and Amazonian specialties. The next stop will be Lake Quistococha, where for the first time we will have the opportunity to meet pink dolphins, and we will also learn about the extraordinary fauna and flora of the region. We will also set off to the middle of the mighty Amazon to feel its current, admire its vastness and try to spot dolphins in their natural environment. We will also visit an unusual zoo, where those willing will be able to hold a several-meter-long anaconda in their arms, pet a sloth, make friends with a capuchin monkey or other inhabitants of the jungle. At dawn, we will begin a real exploration of the Amazon rainforest. This is an extraordinary experience that will allow us to fully feel the rhythm of life in the Amazon. We will go piranha fishing, traverse the dense jungle, look for wild animals and spend the night in the heart of tropical nature – under the starry Amazon sky.

7 - 12 days
