Welcome! My wife and I love waterfalls! In fact, we love them so much that we've created this website to share information, photos, and travel stories about the falls we have personally visited around the world. We've seen Natural Wonders of the World like Iguazu Falls, Victoria Falls, Niagara Falls, and Angel Falls. We've traveled as far as Australia, Iceland, New Zealand, Norway, South America, and Africa in search of these misty curtains of nature. We've also been to those closer to home in the United States in destinations such as Yosemite, Yellowstone, the American Southwest, and the Eastern US. Plus, we've visited tropical getaway destinations such as Hawaii, the Caribbean, and the South Pacific. And we've visited many more around the world.
Whether you're planning a trip or armchair traveling, we hope to inspire you to visit or become a fan of waterfalls. To explore the website, click on a specific attraction, state, region, country, or topic on the links on the left side of these pages. If you have questions, comments, or suggestions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
