Baatara Gorge Waterfall, Tannourine – Lebanon

The vicissitudes of life make it necessary for us to travel far and wide and explore the beauty of Mother Nature. That is why after quitting my job, I decided to tour several tourist attractions of the world in order to feel fresh and rejuvenated. Baatara Gorge Waterfall, Tannourine – Lebanon was the first one on my touring radar.

 

This tour introduced me to passion of the most profound kind,Baatara_gorge  much to my expectation since I was free from my daily duties and it was time to all the things that daily commitments had denied me previously. Indeed, the cutthroat world of business sometimes denies us the opportunity to be free and explore the wonders of the world. I was happy to be free, and Baatara Gorge Waterfall made my happiness complete.

 

At the first sight, this waterfall gave me an inkling that nature was at its best. Actually, it looked like nature was holding a beauty contest. Perhaps the height of the waterfall (255 meters) is the most striking feature of this attraction. The waterfall drops into Baatara pothole, which is a Jurassic limestone cave. This cave is also called “cave of three bridges”. It also lies behind three natural bridges, hence the name “Three Bridges Chasm”.

I was highly tempted to climb up in order to get a closer view of the waterfall but I was careful to avoid danger and possible death.

Tourist amenities and essential services accentuated the visit, and all the people I met were friendly and hospitable. Actually, it was as if everything conspired to make my tour complete and as enjoyable as possible.
