Cascade de Salins was a memorable waterfall to us because of its position in front of some historical-looking arched bridges. In reality though, those bridges appear to be…

La Grande Cascade du Mont Dore (the Big Waterfall of the Mt Dore) is a pleasant waterfall excusion that takes in not only the waterfall but wonderful birds eye views…

…to my horror, outside was raining and there were clasps of lightning and thunder! If there was a discouraging start to the day (to do Gavarnie), this would be it!…

The Cascade du Ray-Pic is one of the more intriguing waterfalls we’ve seen. What makes the roughly 60m falls interesting is that it is accompanied by prominent yet contorted basalt columns…

The waterfall at Etretat was my excuse to include the impressive sea arches that the town is known for. The waterfall itself is probably a mere…

…as we were loading up the car with our stuff, we were dismayed to see that the car charger for our GPS was missing! I swore it was in my bag when we left home, but…

I couldn’t help but think how Mom and I missed out when we tried the scramble but didn’t quite make it three years ago. Still, Julie and I relished…

It’s times like these where waterfalling truly is a gratifying family activity. It seemed like everyone here was having a good time…

YS Falls has to be one of the prettiest waterfalls in Jamaica. In fact, we’d argue it’s pretty close to Dunn’s River Falls in terms of scenic allure…

Somerset Falls is a pretty waterfall, but we’d argue that it’s probably more of a side attraction compared to the neighboring Hidden Falls and the cave-like grotto it spills into…
