Ribbon Fall

Ribbon Fall, located in Yosemite National Park in California, flows off a cliff on the west side of El Capitan, and is the largest single-drop waterfall in North America. The fall is fed by melting winter snow; while therefore dry for much of the year, the fall is a spectacular 1,612 feet (491 m) in the spring. In exceptional years, an ice cone develops at its base during the winter months similar to that which usually forms beneath Upper Yosemite Fall. This deposit can reach a depth of 200 feet, versus 322 feet for the greatest depth of the ice cone beneath the Upper Fall. It is the tallest, continuous falls waterfall in the United States.

Three Chute Falls

Three Chute Falls is a waterfall on Tenaya Creek, in Yosemite National Park in the U.S. state of California. The falls are located shortly upstream of Mirror Lake, although they are relatively obscure. It receives its name from the three distinct "chutes" that the creek splits into upon flowing onto a slab of granite atop the falls, after which it plunges about 80 feet (24 m) into a congregation of boulders. The waterfall is easily reached by proceeding upstream along the Mirror Lake Trail, although access to it does require some scrambling.

Not very far upstream, is the much larger, 600-foot (180 m) Pywiack Cascade.

Pagsanjan Falls

 

Pagsanjan Falls (indigenous name: Magdapio Falls) is one of the most famed waterfalls in the Philippines. The falls have grown into a major tourist attraction for the region. Pagsanjan is most famous for these falls in particular. The town itself dates from early Spanish times and lies at the confluence of two rivers, the Balanac and the Bumbungan.

Maria Cristina Falls

Maria Cristina Falls is a waterfall of the Agus River on the island of Mindanao. It is sometimes called the "twin falls" as the flow is separated by a rock at the brink of the waterfall. It is a landmark of Iligan City, nicknamed the City of Majestic Waterfalls, because of the presence of more than 20 waterfalls in the city. It is located 9.3 kilometers away southwest of the city proper at the boundaries of Barangays Maria Cristina, Ditucalan, and Buru-un.Well-known for its natural beauty and grandeur, the 320-feet98 meters/320 feet high waterfall is also the primary source of electric power for the city's industries, being harnessed by the Agus VI Hydroelectric Plant.

Tequendama Falls

The Tequendama Falls (Spanish: Salto del Tequendama) is a 132m high waterfall on the Bogota River, located about 30 km southwest of Bogota in the municipality of San Antonio del Tequendama. Circa 10000 BC, El Abra and Tequendama were found to be the first permanent settlements in Colombia. One of the country’s major tourist attractions, the falls are located in a forested area 20 miles (32 km) west of Bogotá. The river surges through a rocky gorge that narrows to about 60 feet (18 m) at the brink of the 515-foot (157-meter) high falls. During the month of December the falls become completely dry. The falls, once a common site for suicides, may be reached by road from Bogota.

According to Muisca legend, the waterfall was created by Bochica, who used his staff to break the rock and release the water that covered the Bogotá Savannah. According to another legend, during the Spanish conquest in South America, in order to escape slavery the indigenous people of the area would jump off the Salto Del Tequendama and become eagles to fly to their freedom.

Ouzoud Falls

Ouzoud Waterfalls (French: Cascades d'Ouzoud) (110 m high) are located in the Grand Atlas village of Tanaghmeilt, in the province of Azilal, 150 km north-east of Marrakech, in Morocco.

It is the most visited site of the region. In the vicinity, Green valleys, mills, orchards and a superb circuit of the gorges of the El Abid River (in Arabic, "Slaves' River" ), are found.

Ouzoud is the Berber word for "olive", referring to the nearby olive trees.

The bottom of the falls is accessible through a shaded path of olive trees. At the summit of the falls, there exist a dozen of old small mills that are still in use. In the twilight, one can observe whole troops of monkeys. One can also follow a narrow and difficult track leading to the road of Beni Mellal while descending the gorges from the "wadi el-Abid" by a canyon sometimes which one does not distinguish the bottom with nearly 600 meters.

Many local and national associations lead projects to protect and preserve the site.

Spitter Waterfall

The Spitter Waterfall (German: Spitterfall) is the highest natural waterfall in the German state of Thuringia, with a drop of 19 metres.

The Spitter Waterfall is located below the hillwalking trail of the Rennsteig and tumbles down four cascade steps, 19 metres in overall height, through a notch in the floor of an ice-age hollow on the northern side of the Thuringian Forest. The waterfall is part of the Spitter stream. The source of the Spitter lies only 1.5 km away on the Ebertswiese, a nature reserve lying at a height of about 750 - 800 metres on the boundary of the districts of Schmalkalden-Meiningen and Gotha. The Spitter Waterfall itself is in the district of Gotha.

The course of the Spitter crosses the Rennsteig in the area of the Ebertswiese nature reserve and is the only stream along the route of the Rennsteig.
