La Cascada de la Novia: Waterfall of the Bride will steal your breath away

Parallel to its name, this waterfall is exceptionally gorgeous. At first glance, it looks like a beautiful woman wearing a flowy white dress. However, it’s actually a waterfall located in Cajamarca, Peru!

The waterfall towers at 165 feet (50 metres), and the water descends to the cliffside, illustrating a figure standing against the rock.

Did you know? Surprisingly, not all locals there knew about this waterfall! It was hidden near the village of Vigaspampa in Celendin province, Cajamarca region. The Waterfall of the Bride was a gem nature hid from many.

In 2017, human rights professor Gustavo Vela posted this magical discovery on Twitter, and it was the start of the waterfall’s fame.

A romantic tragedy behind the waterfall’s formation

According to local legends and traditions, the waterfall was a symbol of a young couple’s unrequited love.

They fell in love, but their families were against their relationship. Thus, they decided to elope, but both met a sad ending as they died in a ravine on the mountain.

It is said the water describes the woman with her wedding dress and veil, ready to be married. Furthermore, the ravine is called the Pachachaca tunnel. It’s a deep natural formation with some stalactites. The tunnel connects with the veil of the bride. Hence, another name for this tunnel is the tunnel of the bride.

(Tips: It’s best to visit the waterfall between December and May. It has greater water flow, and the view will make you gasp in awe!)
