Baatara gorge waterfall, Natural waterfall in Tannourine, Lebanon.
The Baatara Gorge Waterfall drops 255 meters through three natural limestone bridges into a cave system within Mount Lebanon.
French researcher Henri Coiffait documented this geological formation in 1952, introducing it to scientific studies and international recognition.
The waterfall represents a central element of Lebanon's natural heritage, connecting the villages of Balaa and Mgharet al-Ghaouaghir through underground water networks.
Visitors access the site through a moderate hiking trail with stairs and rocky terrain, requiring appropriate footwear and caution during wet conditions.
A fluorescent dye test in 1988 revealed that water from the gorge emerges at the Dalleh spring, demonstrating the complex underground system.
