Head to the main bus terminal in Tarapoto. Look for buses or colectivos (shared taxis) heading to Ahuashiyacu or Yurimaguas. The fare is typically around 3-5 soles. Inform the driver or conductor that you wish to visit Waterfall Ahuashiyacu. The bus will drop you off at the entrance of the waterfall, which is about a 30-minute ride.
