Waterfalls have been awe-inspiring forces of nature for ages. People travel from all over the world to experience one of the most incredible natural wonders on earth.

There are several hundred waterfalls in the world. From Havasu Falls in the Grand Canyon to Niagara Falls in the U.S./Canada, these are some of the most stunning sights on the planet.

However, the most beautiful waterfalls are not always the tallest, Plitvice Waterfalls for example, shows off 16 lakes falling into one another, creating a series of waterfalls and cascades.

So get ready to view these iconic waterfalls at their very best. Experience nature like you have never seen it before and make one of these waterfalls the center of your next getaway!

Yosemite Falls is one of the world’s tallest waterfalls at 2,425-feet. It is made up of three separate falls: The Upper Yosemite Fall, the middle cascades, and the Lower Yosemite Fall. If you’re up for it, take an all-day hike to the top of the falls for incredible views. Other falls located in Yosemite National Park include Sentinel Falls, Ribbon Fall, and Bridalveil Fall.

Gullfoss Falls is fed by Langjokull, Iceland’s second largest glacier. It was designated as a nature reserve in 1979. Watch the water as it crashes down into an incredible canyon and try to visit Gullfoss when the sun is shining, you may catch a glimpse of a beautiful rainbow.

Havasu Falls, Grand Canyon

Havasu Falls is found on Havasu Creek. It is frequently visited by hikers, who take a 10-mile stroll each way to the falls. Take the hike alone or experience the falls on a guided tour. Tip: Make sure you bring water with you, as there is none for the first 6 miles of the hike.
