The beauty of the National Park lies in its
sixteen lakes, inter-connected by a series of waterfalls, and set in deep
woodland populated by deer, bears, wolves, boars and rare bird species. The National Park covers a total area of 300
square kilometres, whilst the lakes join together over a distance of eight
kilometres. There really is nothing better than to walk (or hike) through the
Park, taking in the beautiful surroundings and admiring the lakes, waterfalls,
nature and wildlife.
A classic North

been revered by generations a awestruck visitors. Situated in the midst of the
cities of Niagara Falls, New York,and Niagara Falls, Ontario, the park is a
pristine oasis of three massive waterfalls,exciting attractions and 400 acres
of protected wildlife. Designed by famed landscape architect Frederick Law
Olmsted, who also developed New York's Central Park, Niagara Falls state Park
seeks to maintain and perpetuate Olmsted's vision of public parklands.
Skógarfoss-
Iceland There is a legend at Skógarfoss that behind the waterfall
is a chest of treasures. Legend has it that a man ventured behind the falls and
grasped the handle on the chest, only for the treasure to vanish in front his
very eyes.He managed to keep a grip on the handle, and the handle is now on the door to the church in Skógarfoss. Skógafoss (pronounced [ˈskou.aˌfos]) is a waterfall situated in the south of Iceland at the cliffs of the former coastline. After the coastline had receded seaward (it is now at a distance of about 5 km from Skógar), the former sea cliffs remained, parallel to the coast over hundreds of kilometers, creating together with some mountains a clear border between the coastal lowlands and the Highlands of Iceland. The Skógafoss is one of the biggest waterfalls of the country with a width of 25 meters and a drop of 60 meters. Due to the amount of spray the waterfall consistently produces, a single or double rainbow is normally visible on sunny days.
VICTORIA
FALLS, ZAMBIA The Victoria Falls is one of the worlds biggest
waterfalls, it is also a home to one of the most amazing natural waterborn
phenomenons or as the locals in Zambia call it – The Devil’s Pool. The Pool is
right on the edge of the falls. When the river flow is at a low level but still
pretty awesome and massive (September till December), a rock wall on the edge of the 100 meter falls
slows down the current and prevents brave from going overboard though it is
defently not a safe place, Some deaths
have occurred as a result of people that slipped over the rock barrier.There is one guide-company that is allowed to take people to this pool (for a relatively small fee) and you can get to the Devil’s Pool through a little hike (on Livingston Island).
BONITO, BRAZILBonito is a town in Brazil, this places has several nicknames – “ecotourism capital of Brazil” and ”Caribe do Centro-Oeste” (Caribbean of the Central-West) which was given to it due to the fact that the fresh water all around the area has an amazing blue color, (which reminds of the Caribbean sea waters). one of the main attractions is River Snorkeling and touring the stuning waterfalls.
