With Nineties nostalgia seeping into our feeds and into our wardrobes - how is it we are donning crop tops and mustard-tinted shades again? - we've been listening to a lot of TLC of late. As a result, we've got waterfalls on the brain 24/7. But side-stepping TLC's advice - for those who don't know, it was "don't go chasing waterfalls" - we've dived in head-first and compiled this list.
Vietnam
Straddling the border between China and Vietnam, these falls span over 300m, meandering past jungled canopies and bamboo-boat bound tourists. Best viewed from overhead, if you've got a mate with a helicopter, now is the time to call in that favour.
Mexico
Not technically a waterfall, when rain falls into these naturally formed caverns and pool the effect is waterfall-esque. *Adds #cenotes to tag follows on Instagram.
Croatia
This chain of 16 terraced lakes joined by waterfalls extends into a limestone canyon and makes for some of the most beautiful scenes found in nature. We're not crying, you are.
Arizona, US
The Grand Canyon is one of those ticks-all-the-boxes type of places. Topping the list of reasons to visit are Havasu Falls, where languid blue waters are a sharp contrast to red-rock canyon surrounds.
Lebanon
Like Bigar Falls, Baatara Falls is a must-see simply because it's such a huge departure from you typical idea of a waterfall. It flows down through a jurassic limestone cave known as the Baatara Pothole - and the result is truly otherworldly.
Iceland
Ice, ice baby - another Nineties classic and the ultimate segue into our next, and final, entry. Part of the Golden Circle tour, Gullfoss is fed by Iceland's second-biggest glacier, the Langjökull. Watch the water plummet down 32m in two stages into a rugged canyon. On sunny days, rainbows are likely.
