Catarata Bayoz, Emerald waterfall in Perené District, Peru
The Bayoz Waterfall creates a sequence of cascades reaching 60 meters in height, forming natural pools with temperatures averaging 24 degrees Celsius.
The waterfall stands as a central feature of the Perené district, which developed through the agricultural expansion of coffee and citrus plantations in central Peru.
Local indigenous communities maintain traditional agricultural practices near the waterfall, cultivating coffee, citrus fruits, and corn in the surrounding fertile lands.
Visitors can reach the waterfall via a paved road to Yurinaki, followed by an unpaved section and a 300-meter walking path through marked trails.
The waterfall's natural pools contain emerald green waters and stone bottoms, creating safe swimming areas with depths averaging 2 meters.
