Velo de la Novia, Perené, Waterfall in Perené Valley, Peru.

Velo de la Novia is a waterfall in the Perené Valley, in Peru's Ucayali Department. Its water drops about 55 meters down a dark rock face, forming a sheet roughly 30 meters wide at the base. Vines and leafy branches overhang the rock on both sides, and the fall lands in a churning pool of reddish-brown water that flows away over a rocky bed.

The waterfall lies in the Padre Abad Province of the Ucayali Department, Peru, and is reached about two hours from the Namor area. Its Spanish name, Catarata Velo de la Novia, refers to the veil of a bride, seen in the falling water. The sources record no founding date or historical event for the site.

The name Velo de la Novia, "bride's veil", comes from the silhouette of a woman in a wedding dress that the falling water forms when seen from a distance. The waterfall lies about two hours from the Namor area of Peru.

The best time to visit is between April and November when weather conditions are most favorable for viewing and exploration. Access is provided by stone stairways from the Fernando Belaúnde highway, leading to observation platforms where the view is clearest.

Below the waterfall, where the cascade meets the Yurinaki River, a roughly 2-kilometer canyon forms with walls rising over 100 meters high. This deep gorge is visible from the waterfall area and demonstrates the river's power to shape the landscape over time.
