Caves behind waterfalls

Hope this is in right place please move it if I am wrong.


I know there are caves behind waterfalls in mythology all the time. I know of a few that are real, is there a list or does anyone know of where I can acquire a list of real caves behind waterfalls? Hopefully in the north america region?

Thanks in advance for your responses

Niagara falls Ontario! (man made)

I'm more curious why you care so much?

What do you think will be revealed finding such caves?

Something interests you enough. Care to share what and why?

well to be honest my hubby and i were talking last night and we got on the subject of caves behind waterfalls in stories and fiction. That made us both wonder how many there were in reality. Maybe one day visiting a few of them but not likely.

and niagara falls isn't what we had in mind but thank you Brice, i was thinking more of the natural sort.

Some Links-Hope this helps

I recall some being in South America, in Columbia and Venezuela specifically.

Mountains with rainforest on them being the cause usually.

Well not really the forest, but mountains with copious rain.

That's a lovely picture. As a young girl, there was one in a creek. The cave was shallow, but wide, and the water-fall was only about five feet, but my friends and I would sit behind it in the cave and giggle. It was actually a wonderful feeling.

Look up Howard's cave in Georgia.
Lots of awesome pictures of it online.

Okay OP

Where do you think all the forest MONSTERS go to hide during the day ?

In caves behind waterfalls ! These dummies are damn lucky the monsters were napping after

feasting on the previous hikers. Good luck. Bring A large sidearm, two way radio, Road flares ( Proven scientific fact

Monsters HATE FIRE ) and maybe a not so good friend you can toss at these ghoulish creatures prior to your escape.

Just sayin < I hate that expression. Seriously, do a bit of online research ( Not GOOGLE ) fairly certain you will find what

you are looking for.

What do you mean when you say "not Google"?
Like use Bing or something?

I don't understand...

Caves form for a variety of reasons but as you have been quite specific, i will try to help out as much as possible. Caves by waterfalls generally form on limestone (and similar kurst). It is both the action of the water and (generally) the slightly more acidic content of that water (released from chemical reactions with both limestone and with natural gases seeping out of the earth) that help to carve the caves.

National Geographic

Basicaly, if you are looking for caves in North America, look at the local geology. If it s a river basin following limestone, you will find caves somewhere on the way.

There are literally thousands of search engines that will produce better results . Some are very specific, others will include Google results but will hide your search from Google. I'd me more specific, but at the moment I am grieving the loss of my second Son who passed Thurs. Hence I am somewhat brain dead. ( no sympathetic replies please ) I'll shoot you some links when I'm up to it.
