A waterfall is a fall of water from a certain height, either from a river or another stream, due to a sudden drop in height, and a waterfall is a very large or abundant cascade.
Niagara waterFalls
Located on the border between Canada and the United States, we have the famous Niagara Falls, a waterfall with a waterfall of 52 meters, it does not have a large waterfall but it does have a large amplitude that is quite impressive.
A boat trip over Niagara waterFalls not to be missed.
On the Canadian side we have a waterfall called Horseshoe Falls which translates to Horseshoe Falls. The name is due to the water flowing over the crest and down the sides creating the famous Horseshoe Falls. Horseshoe Falls is considered the most impressive of the three waterfalls, with almost 90% of the water of the three falls passing through it.
Across the border on the American side we have two waterfalls, one called American Falls and the other Bridal Veil Falls.
Bridal Veil is Niagara’s smallest waterfall.
The VINNUFALLET WATERFALL
Located near Sunndalsøra, Norway, is the Vinnufallet waterfall, also known as the Vinnuflossen waterfall.
This waterfall is the largest in Europe and very impressive. This waterfall is formed by the melting of the Vinnu glacier, the water rushes down the top of a rocky mountain through a crevice. Due to the great height of the rocky mountain and the fact that it is made up of several levels, when the water reaches the second level, it causes a spectacular veil, reaching a width of more than 152 metres.
Make yourself comfortable and enjoy, it’s awesome!
La CASCADA del salto YOSEMITE
Another waterfall in the United States, it is true that it is not as well known as Niagara Falls, but it is the highest waterfall in North America. They are very good to visit in April and May, as the river brings a great flow of water, reaching its highest water flow in those months. If you are a tourist in the western United States, it is very easy to get there. Remember that Yosemite is the most popular national park in the western United States.

Tugela River Waterfall
In the Drakensberg Mountains in South Africa we find the Tugela River waterfall, which is the second highest waterfall in the world.
The waterfall reaches a height of almost 950 metres, with an important difference from other waterfalls in that it has a very low flow rate, which can even disappear in the dry season. The water is very safe and pure to enjoy before the fall. The great height of the waterfall in the rainy season is visible from the main road of the Royal Natal National Park.

La CASCADA del Salto ÁNGEL.
The ANGEL FALL CASCADE
And finally we go to Venezuela to the waterfall El Salto Angel, the highest waterfall in the world, comprising several levels, the highest level of depth is 807 metres. The name of the waterfall refers to the aviator James Angel, when he was flying over the jungle of Venezuela and saw a gorge of water so deep that the water descending with such force in the fall produced an enormous drizzle.
