It is considered the world's fifth tallest waterfall, becoming internationally known since late 2007 due to a geographical survey conducted by the Geographical Institute of Peru (IGN).[1] GeographyYumbilla is {{convert|895.5|m|ft|abbr=on|sp=us}} high, with the top located {{convert|2723.6|m|ft|abbr=on|sp=us}} above sea level and the base at {{convert|1828.1|m|ft|abbr=on|sp=us}}. [1] The height was measured with the help of laser instruments by a geographical survey of the National Geographic Institute of Peru (IGN) in 2007.[1][2] This area is part of the Eastern Peruvian Andes, also known as Cordillera Oriental, more precisely, part of a mountain massif called Cerro Panhuayco.[3]Yumbilla is considered a tiered type waterfall, since it comprises four or five sections or drops.[1][2][4] The stream is reported to come from a cave named "Caverna San Francisco".[4] ClimateThe reported mean temperature in the area is 22 °C, with a rainy season from December to April.[4] EcologyFloraThe area around the waterfall is covered with montane forest vegetation.
