Locally known as "Tis Issat," which means "smoking water," the falls are situated on the Blue Nile River and are approximately 400 meters wide during the rainy season. The water cascades down a cliff face, creating a mist-filled gorge and forming rainbows on sunny days. The falls are not only a popular tourist destination but also hold significant historical and cultural importance in Ethiopia.
