Spectacular waterfall photos

The waterfalls are a spectacle of nature. They are normally found in rivers, although some flow directly into the sea or ocean. In addition, waterfalls or cataracts are formed by the erosion of the rocks through which the current flows, although they can also have their origin in glaciers, earthquakes, volcanoes or by a strong landslide.

Due to their beauty and spectacularity, most people cannot help but photograph the waterfalls when they are close. In fact, the hashtag #catarata has more than 170,000 images on Instagram. Likewise, its search in English (waterfall) presents more than 18 million publications on this social network.

Also, of all the falls and waterfalls in the world, possibly the most popular is Niagara Falls. These are located between the United States and Canada, although there are others that can compete both in attractiveness and showiness. The Iguazú Falls and the Havasupai Falls are some of them.

Also, the Victoria Falls are the largest in the world (in the sense of their vertical fall). The falls are 1,708 meters high and create a water curtain with an area of 184,400 square meters. Here we show you the most impressive waterfalls on Instagram. You will want to see them up close on your next trip!
