Hidden in the mountains of the Province of Sucre Cajamarca, is this wonderful waterfall that resembles a bride's veil. Recommended place to visit. From the city of Cajamarca it is approximately 2 hours, along the paved road towards Celendin, take the detour towards Vigaspampa on an unpaved road.

Nice place to visit, the unfortunate thing is that there is no formality regarding the collection of income.
