Travelers go to Sakartvelo (as the Georgians call their country) to see the local churches and monasteries, stroll through the blooming Batumi, visit the original mountain villages, sunbathe on the Black Sea beaches, conquer the slopes of Gudauri on mountain skiing, heal in Borjomi, and also visit the incomparable waterfalls of Georgia.
Makhuntseti
The location of the 20-meter Makhuntseti is the region of mountainous Adjara. It is worth taking a dip in the waterfall waters, since the “natural soul” is credited with a rejuvenating effect (a stone bowl at the foot of the waterfall acts as a healing “bath”). In spring Makhuntseti is an impenetrable water wall, and in summer it is a fountain of splashes. An open-air cafe is open nearby, where visitors are treated to national Georgian dishes.
On the way to the waterfall, travelers will be able to see the arched stone bridge of Makhuntseti (there is an assumption that this is a construction of the 12th century; it is periodically reconstructed) at a height of 6 m above the water level (it is thrown over the mountain river Acharistskali).
Gveleti waterfall
This waterfall, falling from a height of 25 meters (falling from a height, the water formed a deep font at the foot of the rock), is formed by the Gveletistskali river and is divided into 2 streams (in the upper part, the width of the waterfall is 2 m, and in the lower part - 4 m). Leaving the car by the road connecting the villages of Gveleti and Gergeti, travelers need to go out onto a narrow mountain trail and walk about 1.5 km along it - the trail will lead to the gorge in which the Gveleti waterfall is hidden (it is advisable to allocate at least 4 hours for the excursion). Important: since the flow of water carries with it stones, sometimes quite large, it is not recommended to approach the waterfall dense.
Gurgeniansky waterfall
The 40-meter waterfall is formed by the Ninos Khevi River, and its stream flows through a gorge overgrown with moss. It is recommended to start the path from the village of Gurgeniani, since there is an entrance to the reserve near it - from here the hiking route along the river will begin (its duration is 5 km)
Important: on the way to the waterfall, you must adhere to the right bank, otherwise you will encounter a rock on the way and you will have to turn back (at the entrance it is advisable to take a map - there is a place where you need to turn to the left bank 1 time). The most difficult thing is the last 100-meter section of the path: it is important to stay on your feet so as not to fall down (in this place the soil and stones become slippery from the waterfall spray).
Kinchkha
It is a waterfall of 2 steps, 100 (located at an altitude of 1000 m above sea level) and 20 m, on the Okatse river. At 150 m above the waterfall, you can find old baths - buildings of white stone (the princes used them as baths).
