They are often the focal point of ecosystems, sources of local legends, and prime tourist destinations. Let’s explore some of the world’s top waterfalls. Iguazu Falls Iguazu Falls, straddling the borders of Argentina and Brazil, is not just a waterfall — it’s a complex system of 275 small individual waterfalls stretching nearly two miles. What makes it special is the Devil’s Throat, a U-shaped chasm that drops over 260 feet, creating a mist visible from miles away. Victoria Falls Known locally as “The Smoke That Thunders,” Victoria Falls is among the most famous waterfalls on the Earth. The Zambezi River plunges 354 feet over a width of 5,604 feet, forming the world’s largest waterfall curtain. Its surrounding areas are protected within national parks teeming with elephants, hippos, and crocodiles. The lunar rainbow, a rare sight in the mist, adds to its charm. Niagara Falls Niagara Falls, waterfall on the Niagara River in northeastern North America. It’s not the tallest but its power is amazing, with over 3,160 tons of water flowing per second. It’s important in history for industry, hydropower, and tourism. At night, the falls glow under colorful lights, adding to their timeless charm. Angel Falls Angel Falls in Venezuela’s Canaima National Park drops 3,212 feet non-stop from the Auyan-Tepuí plateau. This waterfall is not only the tallest in the world but also profoundly isolated, accessible mainly by plane and boat. The falls cascade into a lush basin surrounded by tepuis — ancient, table-like mountains. These mystical landscapes inspired the floating cliffs in Disney’s Up and contribute to the area’s unique biodiversity. 1. Wha
