Havasu Falls

Havasu Falls, also known as Supai Falls, is certainly a remarkable place in the Grand Canyon. The Havasu Cavern, located deep inside the Grand Canyon on the Havasupai reserve, is home to a sequence of stunning blue waterfalls that give the Havasupai people their name. The most renowned of these waterfalls is Havasu Falls, which has turquoise cascades that are so vibrantly colored that it's difficult to believe the water pouring over them isn't transparent.

The Havasu has produced a series of waterfalls and hollowed-out basins in the travertine rock that provide lovely swimming pools in this paradisiacal valley. Day hikes are not permitted here. Reservations must be made, a permit obtained, and a fee paid. A hard trek, horseback or mule ride, or helicopter ride are the only ways to get there.
