The Guardian newspaper advised its readers and nature lovers, who are looking for stunning waterfalls all over the world, from Japan to the Isle of Man, to visit Balou Balaa Falls (also known as the Baatara Gorge waterfall) in Batroun, which is considered one of the world's most spectacular waterfall, selected from readers' tips, recommendations and travel advice.
The Cave of Three Bridges near Tannourine village (a 90-minute drive from Beirut) is a primordial wonder. A vertical shaft of icy melt water drops 250 metres through a limestone cave. Over the centuries the water has carved three limestone arcs across the main chamber at the end of a dizzyingly steep gorge. The curved nature of the erosion and abundance of greenery give the impression of an imagined landscape, a sublime rendering of the natural world. The Baatara Gorge can be accessed by trail from the village of Mgharet al-Ghaouaghir and offers an insight into the incredible geology of this tiny, troubled country.
