Manawaiopuna Falls, Hawaii
From series “Most Fanciful Waterfalls of the Planet”
On the Hawaiian island of Kauai lies incredibly beautiful Manawaiopuna Falls, which is located in the central part of the island and is 105 meters high. Many travellers know this waterfall under the unofficial name – the Jurassic Falls. And all thanks to modern cinema. A few years ago, a waterfall lost in the rainforests was unknown to anyone. Everything changed when several scenes of the movie 'Jurassic Park' were shot alongside it.
Since then thousands of admirers of modern cinema from all over the world strive to visit this landmark place. Manawaiopuna falls has become one of the key attractions of Kauai island. The waterfall is located in the valley of Hanapepe, which is famous for its wonderful scenery and is of great interest not only for hikers, but also the explorers. In this picturesque area live rare bird and insect species. Many walking routes have been laid for tourists in the immediate vicinity of the waterfall.
