Agura Waterfalls, Natural monument in Resort Town of Sochi, Russia.

Agura Waterfalls is a cascade on the Agura River in the Khostinsky district of Sochi, 4 km from the Black Sea. The Lower waterfall has two steps, 18 m and 12 m, falling into a wide, deep blue basin; upstream are the 23 m Middle and 21 m Upper falls. The water drops between gray, moss-covered rock walls into a pool.

The trail through the Agura valley was built in 1911 by members of the Sochi mountain club. The waterfalls lie on the Agura where it cuts through the Akhun range, 4 km from the Black Sea, and the surrounding territory was placed under protection on 26 January 1988. A local legend tells of a girl named Agura who helped Prometheus and was turned into the river by the god Akhyn.

Local legend says a girl named Agura helped Prometheus chained to the cliff; the god Akhyn, who guarded the Greek, turned her into the river. The tale is thought to have been invented in recent decades to draw tourists to the falls and the Orlinye rocks. The trail was built in 1911 by members of the Sochi mountain club.

Access is from the Maliy Akhun microdistrict by walking up the Agura valley along a trail built in 1911 by the Sochi mountain club. From the Chyortova Nora canyon it is about 1.5 km to the Lower waterfall; beyond it, stairs and climbs lead 500 m up to the Middle and then the Upper waterfall. The trail continues along the right bank to the confluence with the Agurchik, where reaching the clearing means fording the Agura.

The trail to the falls was built in 1911 by members of the Sochi mountain club, and the upper section of the gorge is overlooked by a rock called Eagle Rock (Orlinye skaly). The local legend of a girl named Agura turned into the river by the god Akhyn is thought to have been invented in recent decades to draw tourists.
