The most stunning waterfalls in the world
This is the highest waterfall complex in India with a dizzying 250-meter drop. Located 100 kilometers from the center of Shimoga, these waterfalls are also known as Gersoppa Falls. Their beauty is imposing and the rainbows they generate are absolutely intoxicating.
Located in northern Queensland in the middle of the jungle, Barron Falls drops from a height of 125 meters in the village of Kuranda. The flow of water it moves is an impressive 30 cubic meters per second. Better not get too close.
Victoria Falls is one of the most stunning natural landscapes in the world. We're talking about a 1.7 km front and a 130-meter drop. Integrated into the national parks of Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe and Mosi-oa-Tunya in Zambia, this site is known as 'Thundering Smoke'. Its sound is forever etched in the heads of those lucky enough to see it.
Iceland is an almost infinite chain of natural wonders. Few of those compare to Skogafoss Falls. Located in the south of the country, this is the point where the Skoga River used to meet the coastline. Now it just drops down 60 meters with a route of 125 meters, creating a hypnotic experience, while the Iceland coastline lies 5 kilometers away.
Without a doubt, this is Iceland's most popular tourist destination. The Gullfoss Falls are located on the Hvita River, whose origin is the Langjokull Glacier. Gullfoss means 'Golden waterfalls' and refers to the way the glacial sediment reacts to sunlight, making the 32-meter fall seem golden. The biggest shock is the illusion that the Hvida River disappears after the fall when there is actually a second section of the waterfall below. A true natural wonder.
Niagara Falls is on the border of Canada and the United States. Over 35 miles long, they are a wonder of nature. Its 52-meter, noisy fall has earned it the name 'water thunder' which is Niagara in the Iroquois language.
The highest waterfall in Epupa Falls reaches 40 meters. However, it is the beauty of this natural setting that captivates anyone lucky enough to see it. It is the Kunene River that provides crystal clear waters, while the rocks create a waterfall that, together, form a 1.5-kilometer arch.
One of the largest, tallest and most beautiful waterfalls in China. We are talking about a waterfall 70 meters long and whose name comes from a local plant with yellow fruits that dominates the environment. Caves, natural pools, dozens of rainbows... Without a doubt, an earthly paradise that marks the visitor for life.
Unlike other waterfalls, the Palouse River waterfalls generate more peace and relaxation than iniquity due to the noise. The surroundings of this fall are of extreme beauty. So much so that many people do not realize that it exceeds a height of 60 meters. It's nothing, though, compared to the 115 meters deep canyon in which it flows and where the beautiful central lake has been created.
Up to 250 waterfalls form the impressive Iguazú Falls. Despite the fact that most of them fall on Argentine soil, the Devil's Fall, the tallest at 80 meters, is part of Brazil. The best thing about this waterfall is that tourists come as close as 50 meters to it. Being able to see a waterfall at that distance is one of the most impressive sensations a person can experience.
As its name suggests, this waterfall is located inside Yellowstone National Park. It is a complex formed by almost 300 waterfalls, among which the 95 meters of the Lower Falls and the 34 meters of the Upper Falls stand out. We are also talking about the oldest park in the world, an emblem of the majesty of the planet, as shown by the Yellowstone River canyon and its 1,000 meters of depth.
A few kilometers from Temi, in the region of Umbria, you can find one of the largest waterfalls in Europe. It's 165 meters high and forms a natural beauty that is difficult to explain.
With an impressive height of 110 meters, Ouzoud Falls lies just 150 kilometers from the tourist capital of Marrakech. Located in the heart of the Atlas Mountains, this natural setting is connected through a road lined by olive trees and aromatic plants. It is no surprise, therefore, that Ouzoud means 'olive' in Berber, the Moroccan language.
One of the most beautiful natural settings in the world, Plitvice is a series of 16 lakes that appear arranged as waterfalls. They create an incredible landscape in which emerald and turquoise tones are mixed in the water. Meanwhile, the passage of time has created rivers and caves in the area that can also be visited.
This is another one of the many waterfalls we find on the African continent. But few of them have similar beauty. The Ruacana waterfall imposes due to its force and power, in addition to its spectacular fall of 120 meters. It is located in one of the wildest zones of Namibia, close to the border with Angola. A must-see.
With a drop of 105 meters, the Aponwao Falls impress visitors both visually and acoustically. The noise generated by the impact of the water is thunderous. This site has been prepared to get views from various perspectives. Thanks to this feature, it is a nice alternative to the Angel Falls in the same country - although Angel's 979 meters are of course difficult to beat.
Located in Yosemite National Park, these falls are the highest in North America with a powerful drop of 739 meters. The roar of the water as it falls is so loud that you can hear it in much of the vast national park. One important recommendation: do not go in the summer, as they sometimes dry up.
