…back into the familiar toilet I was hovered over and before I could do any more thinking, I threw up into the toilet bowl. The barf was a nasty blend of papaya from breakfast…

The “Machu Picchu Waterfall” is the name I’m dubbing this rare waterfall by Incan ruins… it was not often we were able to see waterfalls and ruins together. So this one particularly caught my…

“Honey. What happened to your eyes? They’re red?” said Julie. I was incredulous as I wasn’t aware of anything that could’ve made my eyes red. Immediately, I thought…

This itinerary pertained to a dedicated Big Island weekend trip. We waimed to visit the remaining waterfalls (or at least see them flowing) that we either missed or didn’t have a good experience for in our previous visits…

Knowing that the weather wouldn’t be as much of an issue as the last four failed attempts at helicoptering, there was a part of me that couldn’t believe that today’s tour was actually…

While I’ve noted several Big Island Waterfalls on this website, there are still countless more. The vast majority of these waterfalls are concentrated on the windward…

This was a very brief overnight trip to Julian in celebration of Valentine’s Day. While one normally associates this day with romance (or heartbreak, depending on your situation), Julie and I remembered this trip in terms of hiking and driving under a freak snow storm…

Cedar Creek Falls is an 80ft seasonal waterfall in San Diego County that can be accessed by two different trailheads each 6 miles round-trip requiring permits.

Mildred Falls was an ephemeral waterfall that appeared to have a very short life. I’ve witnessed this waterfall on two separate occasions, where the first time I showed up was on the second dry day…

Kitchen Creek Falls is a 150ft seasonal waterfall sitting within the typically hot and dry deserts about 50 miles east of San Diego off the Pacific Crest Trail.

It was still rainy and chilly, but Julie and I were quite relieved as the only snow left was on our car. Both of us were also relieved about finally going to the restroom…

Julie and I remembered this Big Island Trip well because it was one in which bad weather pretty much kept us from accomplishing any of the goals that we had set out to do. What happened was that unprecedented heavy rains (from Climate Change?)…

Kulaniapia Falls is an 80-100ft waterfall on private property by the Inn at Kulaniapia on the lower slopes of Mauna Kea near Hilo, accessible to lodge guests.

I kept trying to tell myself that this rain must be good for waterfalling, but if there ever was a such thing as having way too much rain to go waterfalling, this was it!

This itinerary covers our visit to Patagonia from both the Argentina as well as Chile sides. Included in this two-week trip were a few days spent in Buenos Aires (the capital of Argentina) as well as a fruitful layover in Miami’s South Beach…

One of the things that I learned when Julie and I turned our attention internationally to go waterfalling is that travel is all about building bridges between your own perception of the world and what actually happens in the real world…

Someone kept yelling “Johnny!” in the distance. Then, as the yell got louder and I looked up, I was shocked to see who was standing before me. “Oh, what?!?” I said in disbelief…

Even though this is a waterfalls website, we recognize that there are many highlights from the island country of Iceland (both involving and not involving waterfalls). So we’ve come up with this page to pay homage to some of the highlights that we…

Salto Grande was definitely the prime waterfall attraction in Torres del Paine National Park as it gushed 15m between lakes with an easy trail to a lookout.

The Torres del Paine Cascades are mountain cascades in which I’ve dedicated this page to acknowledge their quality and quantity seen during the difficult but rewarding hike…
