The bluish-blue water of the Havasu River that forms the Havasu Falls falls from above as high as about 27-30 meters from a vertical cliff into a series of plunge pools. High calcium carbonate concentrations in the water create a bright blue-green color and form a natural travertine dam that occurs in various places near the waterfall.

The position of the flow of water first appeared in 1910, and has changed several times since then. Water currently flows as a flow. In the past, sometimes there were several streams, or continuous streams to the edges. Nevertheless, Havasu Falls is still beautiful today and is visited by many tourists. (WS.IN/ENG/*)
