Bagua Grande, Aug. 08 (ANDINA).- An expedition of local tourism and INC (National Institute of Culture) representatives will hike today to the impressive waterfall recently found in the Amazonas region in northern Peru.
The expedition team, which will depart from Bagua Grande (capital town of the Utcubamba province), includes a topographer, local municipality representatives and a cameraman. This waterfall is said to be higher than the magnificent 771-meters high Gocta Waterfall located in Chachapoyas, a mystical province in northern Peru.
INC delegate in Utcubamba, Carlos Jiménez, said there is great expectation among local people to know the results of this expedition.
