EL Hong Kong|March-May 2021
When you can’t get on a plane, it’s fun to at least take in some destination eyecandy. Here we take a look at some of the world’s most Instagrammed waterfalls!
World's Most Instagrammed Waterfalls!

1 Niagara Falls

Almost 3.4 million hashtags The world-famous Niagara Falls is located between Ontario, Canada, and the US state of New York. Up to 10 million visitors see the falls in a normal year – hence all the hashtags! The picturesque greenish hue of the water at Niagara comes from dissolved minerals.

Trivia : 63 -year old school teacher Annie Edison Taylor was the first person to go over the falls in a barrel, back in 1901.

2 Iguazú Falls

More than 1 million hashtags In second place for Instapopularity is Iguazú Falls, considered the world’s largest waterfall, and made up of more than 250 cascades. The South American wonder lies between Argentina and Brazil and is twice as tall and three times as wide as Niagara Falls.

Trivia: Part of the appeal of Iguazú for photographers is the heavy mist from the falls, which combines with the ample sunshine to causerinbows throughout the day.

3 Gullfoss

More than 300,000 hashtags Taking its name from its golden waters, Gullfoss is one of Iceland’s most iconic falls. Located along the Hvitá River in the country’s southwest, it’s less than two hours by car from capital city Reykjavík.

Trivia: As you approach the site, the crevice that carries the water onwards from the falls is obscured from view, so it looks like the river simply plunges into the earth.

4 Victoria Falls
