Cascate di Barbiano (Barbianer Wasserfalle)
Le Cascate di Barbiano (Barbiano Waterfalls; also Barbianer Wasserfälle in German) are a series of waterfalls located by the town of Barbiano (Barbian). I believe there were three main waterfalls…
Cascata di Parcines (Wasserfall Partschinser)
Cascata di Parcines (Parcines Waterfall; also Wasserfall Partschinser in German) is said to be the tallest waterfall in the Alto Adige region of Italy (also known as Südtirol or South Tyrol) at 98m…
Cascate del Dardagna
Le Cascate del Dardagna were a series of intermediate-sized waterfalls tumbling in succession for a reported cumulative height of 200m or so. I don’t think there was a safe way to see the entire…
Cascata del Sasso
Cascata del Sasso was a picturesque waterfall that was unique amongst the waterfalls we’ve witnessed in Italy as it was one of the wider block-type waterfalls whereas the majority of waterfalls…
Cascata delle Marmore
Cascata delle Marmore was probably one of Italy’s more famous waterfalls. We sensed it was famous because it seemed like most Italians had either known about it or at least heard of it…
Cascata del Rio Verde
Cascata del Rio Verde (Rio Verde Waterfall) was said to be the highest natural waterfall in Italy at around 200m. While we didn’t have the means to corroborate or refute the claim, we did notice…
Cascate del Liri
Le Cascate del Liri are comprised of two waterfalls. The first (and more prominent) one is referred to as Cascata Grande (big waterfall; also known as Cascata Verticale or “vertical waterfall”)…
Palouse Falls
Palouse Falls took our breath away when we gazed upon its powerful flow amidst a rugged and naturesque canyon that very much reminded us of Iceland. Except we were in southeast Washington…
Jump Creek Falls
Jump Creek Falls was seemingly a locals’ kind of waterfall, especially since we had to navigate through a maze of private property to even find this gem not far from Boise, Idaho. What really made…
Shoshone Falls
Shoshone Falls was a waterfall that Julie and I anticipated seeing immensely. We were intrigued by the promise of its size and volume, especially given the nickname the “Niagara of the West”…
Twin Falls
Twin Falls was a waterfall that was so named because it used to have two side-by-side plunges at a split in the Snake River. Of course, when we saw it in April 2013, there was only one of the two…
Perrine Coulee Falls
Perrine Coulee Falls was probably the surprise waterfall of the Twin Falls area for us. While the neighboring Snake River Waterfalls were tampered with, this one seemed to be left to flow naturally…
“Vaioro Falls”
“Vaioro Falls” is the other of two notable waterfalls decorating the mountains backing the town of Afareaitu on the southeast coast of Moorea Island. Like the “Putoa Falls”, I put quotes around the…
Other Moorea Waterfalls
The Other Moorea Waterfalls besides the two main ones behind the town of Afareaitu are what I’m devoting this particular page for. For all intents and purposes, I’ve spotted the majority of these…
Tahiti Iti Waterfalls
The Tahiti Iti Waterfalls page was my attempt at trying to capture and exhibit the numerous waterfalls we managed to encounter while visiting the smaller “dumbbell” of Tahiti Island (the part known…
Haamaremare Iti and Haamaremare Rahi Waterfalls
The Haamaremare Iti and Haamaremare Rahi Waterfalls comprise the other two of the three Faarumai Waterfalls. These were essentially dual waterfalls almost falling side by side each other though…
Vaiharuru Falls
Vaiharuru Falls was one of those look-but-don’t-touch waterfalls as it plunged dramatically at a distance from the main road. I’d have to say this is probably more for waterfall collectors…
Vaipahi Falls
Vaipahi Falls was more of those classic intimate small jungle waterfalls where it’s easy to relax, swim, and play here (though the mozzies can easily break that piece of mind). Tall hanging vines…
Cascade de Fachoda
Cascade de Fachoda (or the Fautaua Waterfall since it’s in Fautaua Valley) has to be one of the more spectacular waterfalls I’ve been fortunate enough to sample in Tahiti. The reason why I say……
Tahiti Nui Waterfalls
The Tahiti Nui Waterfalls page was my attempt at trying to capture and exhibit the other unnamed waterfalls we noticed on the larger “dumbbell” of Tahiti Island (the part known as Tahiti Nui or Big…
