Beautiful Waterfalls in the World

The Agrio River tumbles off a rock ledge to create the 60-meter-high Agrio Falls (Salto del Agrio). The waterfall is located just one kilometer from the town of Caviahue in Argentina's Patagonia region.

Cascading down three tiers and backed by a lush green landscape and fairy-tale-like pointy mountains, Ban Gioc Waterfall (Detain Waterfall on the Chinese side) is right on the border with China and ranks as the largest waterfall in Asia.

Dropping off the rim of a crater into a circular pool surrounded by moss-covered canyon walls some 200 feet below, Palouse Falls is another take-your-breath-away beautiful waterfall. In a remote part of southeast Washington, it is especially impressive when the Palouse River is running high and the waterfall is at its most full.

Inside Yosemite National Park, Bridalveil Fall is one of the most iconic waterfalls in the park, the other being the larger Yosemite Falls. If you're a fan of Ansel Adams' photography, you may recognize the falls from his famous shot of the Yosemite Valley snapped from Inspiration Point.

The Weeping Wall on the ultra lush Hawaiian Island of Kauai is home to a series of narrow waterfalls thundering down the 5,066-foot-high Mount Waialeale. This is the second wettest spot on the planet, receiving around 450 inches of rainfall each year.

Located just outside Ubud, Tukad Cepung Waterfall is one of Bali's most unique. Accessed via a jungle hiking trail that takes about 15 minutes to walk and is suitable for kids, the most beautiful part of this waterfall experience is the way the sun rays shine through the jungle landscape to create a magical view.

Just outside Chattanooga, Ruby Falls has the distinction of being the tallest and deepest underground waterfall open to the public in the USA. Located 1,120 feet deep inside Lookout Mountain, this waterfall is accessed by taking an elevator 26 stories underground and then walking along a cavern path past crazy looking geological rock formations.

With a width of 900 feet and falling some 212 feet, Shoshone Falls, in Twin Falls, Idaho, is often called the "Niagara of the West." One of the largest natural waterfalls in the US, Shoshone Falls are actually taller than Niagara Falls. The falls are on the Snake River and are set in a deep basalt canyon.

On the Hvita River in Iceland, Gullfoss means "golden falls" and gets its name from the glacial sediment in the river that makes the falls glow gold in the sun. The 105-foot-tall waterfall crashes down in two stages that are aligned at nearly right angles, creating a crazy illusion as you approach the thunder that these golden falls also stretch to the ends of the Earth. It is a magical sight set against Iceland's lush, velvet-green landscape.

In the town of Badian on Cebu Island in the Philippines, Kawasan Falls themselves are not that stunning in the scope of epic world waterfalls. But the pool of turquoise water they drop into certainly is. As such, they have become an instant sensation for travel Instagram shots.
