Salt de Sallent, Natural waterfall in Rupit i Pruit, Spain.
The Sallent waterfall drops 115 meters in two sections of 50 meters each, forming a deep pool at its base in the Catalonian mountains.
The waterfall's name combines 'salto' and 'sallent', both meaning jump or fall, reflecting the linguistic evolution of the Catalan and Spanish languages.
The waterfall forms part of the Collsacabra region, where traditional farming methods and medieval architecture remain preserved in surrounding villages.
Visitors can access the waterfall through marked trails starting from Rupit village, passing the hanging bridge and following the path to Font de Carraguell.
The waterfall creates the Gorge of the Devil at its base, where water continues flowing toward the Susqueda reservoir through natural rock formations.

Waterfalls have a way of drawing people in. The sound of falling water, the mist that rises from the base, the way light catches the spray. Some of the most striking examples sit in places that remain relatively quiet, where the journey itself becomes part of the experience. These destinations reward travelers who make the effort, offering moments of solitude that are increasingly rare around natural landmarks. This collection includes places like the limestone terraces of Plitvice Lakes in Croatia, where a chain of interconnected pools spills from one to the next through forest shade. Or the red sandstone walls of Coyote Gulch in Utah, where water carved out hidden alcoves and pools over countless seasons. In India, Nohkalikai Falls drops from a forested plateau into a green pool far below. China's Huangguoshu Waterfall has a cave tucked behind the curtain of water itself. At the Vietnam-China border, Ban Gioc-Detian spreads wide across the landscape, while Angel Falls in Venezuela tumbles nearly a thousand meters from a flat topped mountain. Norway's Geirangerfjord hosts the Seven Sisters, a cluster of parallel streams that flow straight into the fjord. Iceland's Dettifoss sends an immense volume of glacial water over black volcanic rock. South Africa's Tugela Falls descends in stages from the dramatic cliff face of the Drakensberg range. And in the Philippines, Kawasan Falls creates a series of turquoise pools beneath a canopy of tropical growth. Each place has its own character, shaped by the rock, the climate, and the surrounding terrain.
In rural Catalonia, medieval villages, monasteries and natural areas stand preserved. The region features Roman villas, Gothic churches, castle ruins and waterfalls. These locations spread from mountains to Mediterranean coast.
