But the closer you get, the more you get to feel the power this natural wonder. You both see and hear them as they plunge down precipitous and narrow gorges and steep high mountain sides. In some places you can hear the falls roaring several kilometers away when they are at their biggest.

That's when the snow melt really picks up at the end of May and throughout the summer the waterfalls come to its wild and wonderful life. Specially medio June. The temperature rises in the high mountains and the snow has to give up the fight against the sun and hot summer. A fascinating cycle that repeats itself every year.
Soon it will be new waterfall season, we are looking forward to it.

Always remember to stay on safe ground, keep distance, this is the nature at it strongest.It is downright dangerous to go too close, also remember that it is often slippery near our rivers. Safe distance is the key.
