The most thunderous, the tallest, and the widest curtains of falling water on the planet — from a mile-wide wall of spray to a cascade that drops nearly a kilometre.







Few things stop you in your tracks like a great waterfall. This map gathers the world's most awe-inspiring: a mile-wide horseshoe straddling two countries, a 'Devil's Throat' you feel in your chest before you see it, the highest waterfall on Earth pouring off a flat-topped jungle mountain, and a Croatian wonderland where lakes spill into one another over mossy travertine. Bring a raincoat.
