Catarata de Ahuashiyacu, Waterfall in San Martín, Peru.
The Ahuashiyacu Waterfall features a 35-meter cascade that drops into a natural pool surrounded by dense Amazonian vegetation.
The protected area containing the waterfall became part of the Cordillera Escalera Regional Conservation Area to preserve its natural resources.
Local indigenous communities named the waterfall Ahuashiyacu, which translates from Quechua language as singing water or laughing water.
Visitors can reach the waterfall through a 10-minute walk on a maintained trail, located 14 kilometers from the city of Tarapoto.
During the rainy season from January to March, the waterfall's water volume increases substantially, creating a more powerful cascade.
