Eroded over thousands of years, the Baatara Gorge Waterfall cascades through three massive limestone arches at once.

We’ve seen all kinds of waterfalls—majestic ones, those that flow upward, and hidden ones nestled in the mountains—but those are all just “one” waterfall. Today, we’re introducing one that’s truly special: a waterfall split into three parts. It’sthe Baatara Gorge Waterfall (also known as the Three Bridge Chasm).This waterfall, located in the forest outside Beirut, the capital of Lebanon, was originally part of a limestone cave, formed from ancient Jurassic-era limestone. Around several thousand years ago, melting snow from the mountains gradually eroded the limestone cave, creating three separate holes.

To this day, when the mountain snow begins to melt, ribbon-like, crystal-clear water flows down through three separate arches, dropping into the endless darkness of the caves below. To visit the Baatara Gorge Waterfall, you’ll need to drive for about two hours from Beirut, following rural roads that wind up from the foothills, where you can enjoy views of vineyards and olive groves along the way.

Once you arrive, it’s just a short hike across the cliff to reach the falls. The best time to visit is usually in March or April, when the snowmelt is at its strongest. Visitors can peer down from inside the limestone cave, marveling at the breathtaking rush of water and the stone bridges and caves below—a sight that will surely be unforgettable for a lifetime.
