Here you are greeted everywhere with a garland of live tiare flowers — the symbol of Polynesia.

Indonesia 🇮🇩
Tumpak Sevu is perhaps the most spectacular waterfall on the island of Java. Its height is 120 meters.
The name translates as “thousands of waterfalls”, because in fact, this is not one waterfall, but several streams of water that break off the cliff and dozens more streams that break right out of the rocks.
To feel all its power - it is worth going down to the very bottom to its foot. At the bottom you will find yourself as if in a bowl surrounded by mighty rocks and the roar of water flows.

Jamaica, Dance River Waterfalls
The Dance River Waterfalls are located near the town of Ocho Rios in Jamaica, on the territory of the natural park of the same name. This is one of the most visited attractions of the island and one of the most picturesque waterfalls in the world. The total length of the cascades is 180 m, and the total height is 55 m, and the streams form several small lagoons here.
Waterfalls of this type, like the Dance River, geologists call a "living phenomenon": water from underground sources is rich in calcium and by itself washes the terraces in the riverbed. In addition, Dance River is one of the few limestone waterfalls in the world that plunge directly into the sea. After passing the waterfalls, the river flows into the Caribbean Sea in the western part of a beautiful white sand beach.
