Message from Nicole Carter

Catarata Gocta is a stunning waterfall located in Peru's province of Bongara. Discovered in 2002 by a German explorer and a group of Peruvian locals, this hidden gem stands at an impressive height of 771 meters, making it one of the tallest waterfalls in the world. Legend has it that the falls were kept secret by locals due to a mythical mermaid's curse, but now tourists can enjoy hiking trails and breathtaking views of this natural wonder. With a small hotel nearby offering rooms with waterfall views, Catarata Gocta is a must-visit destination for nature lovers and adventure seekers alike.
