Niagara falls
Niagara Falls is an amazing and adorable destination, situated on the US and Canadian border differentiating New York from the province of Ontario. Three distinct waterfalls constitute together Niagara falls: Horseshoe Falls, American Falls, and Bridal Veil fall boast the highest water flow rate in the world.
