AWESOME WATERFALLS
Added on: 13th Aug 2015
SUTHERLAND FALLS
Sitting on the south western tip of New Zealand, Sutherland Falls is truly
located “down under” and with 300 days of rain year round you had better
bring your umbrella…or at least a swimsuit.
PITCHFORK FALLS
It’s not hard to see where this Alaskan waterfall gets its name.
RHINE FALLS
Although Vinufossen is the highest in Europe, the Swiss would be
quick to inform you that Rhine Falls is the largest plain waterfall in Europe.
GOCTA FALLS
Although known to the locals for centuries, Gocta Falls in Peru wasn’t
“discovered” by the rest of the world until a German expedition
stumbled across it in 2005. It is now the 5th highest waterfall in the world.
KAHIWA FALLS
Hawaii has no shortage of picturesque waterfalls, majestic cascade
tumbles directly into the Pacific Ocean.
VICTORIA FALLS
At over twice the height of Niagara Falls and spanning a length of about
1 mile on the border of Zimbabwe and Zambia, the sheer amount of
water gushing over the edge is mind blowing. In fact, on clear days
you can see the spray from almost 30 miles away.
BAATARA GORGE FALLS
Descending down into the Baatara Pothole in Lebanon, it’s not hard to
see why this place is also known as the cave of three bridges.
ANGEL FALLS
There’s probably no surprise here. Found in the Venezuelan jungle
Angel Falls is not only a stunning sight, it’s also overwhelming. At
3,211 feet it’s the largest in the world. In fact, it’s so high that water
evaporates before it even reaches the ground!
