Smoke Falls of (Cachoeira da Fumaca) Bahia Brazil

The Smoke Falls (Cachoeira da Fumaça) is also famous with another name of “Glass Falls", is located in Bahia, Brazil. This waterfall was discovered in 1960 by a pilot and it was well believed to be the country's highest waterfall until Cachoeira do Araca was in recent times discovered in the Amazon. The waterfall is located in Chapada Diamantina, an attractive region for adventurers, named that way because the tiny water flow is sprayed by the wind before it touches the ground, 380 meters (more than 1000 feet) down from where it first fell. 

However, depending on the season, it can be completely dry. There’re 2 ways to reach it; from above, walking six kilometers from the ecological base placed in the Vale do Capão, or from below, after a three-day trek starting from Lençoís, Chapada's best-known city. 

Smoke Falls is wide popular with adventurers due to the fact that there’re a great many other things to see and do during the trip into visit them. While the taller and more famous Cachoeira da Fumaça in Bahia lives up to its name quite well, this cataract fits its title for an entirely different reason. The power of the falls thundering over the escarpment ensures an almost constant billow of spray soaks the basin surrounding the waterfall. 

At flood stage, the waterfalls are so fierce that it becomes tough to photograph or even reach the waterfall due to the volume of mist in the air. Compound the power of the falls with a very striking shape and we've got a formula for a really impressive waterfall. So to get to the waterfall, the reason few visitors manage to get there, but once you’re there, you’ll understand why it’s worth all the effort.

World’s Largest Underground Trampoline United Kingdom

Bounce Below is the world's largest underground trampoline, bounce and slide facility is ready to open for general public on 4 July 2014. A set of three massive trampolines within the Llechwedd caverns in Wales brings trampolining to a whole new terrain. The old mining cavern is twice the size of St. Paul's Cathedral contains three mammoth trampolines and a 60ft slide. The activity lasts about one hour and visitors are supplied with cotton overalls and safety helmets before jumping on the train and taken inside the mountain. The train disembarks customers into a cavern lit up by an amazing display of lights. The three trampolines are connected by stairways and slides. The colorful lit caverns are the latest attraction at the regeneration project, which has seen over £1 million invested in it so far. 

Sean Taylor; the owner of Zip World said: We got this idea when my business partner saw this done in woods in France but this has never been done in a cavern, this is really a world first in Wales. Employees preparing the attraction had to work using portable lamps and carried out around 500 tons of rubble from the cavern. The first trampoline is 20ft off the ground, the second is 60ft and the third is 180ft high. They’re connected by shoots and you get in via a walk way in to the middle trampoline.

The Supreme Administrative Court of Bulgaria declared that this filming was a breach of Bulgaria's environmental regulations. A countless bats were displaced from the cave, but at the late 2012, the majority of the bats had returned to the cave.

In the start of the 1950s, serious-minded explorations of the cave were held, concerning its transformation into a warehouse. In a study showed that the Devetàshka cave used to be inhabited with some interruptions during almost every historical era. The first traces of human presence date back to the middle of the Initial Stone Age before about 70,000 years BC. The Devetàshka cave is amongst the cave deposits with the richest cultural artifacts from the Neolithic. The cave entrance is 35 meters wide and 30 meters high. Approximately 40 meters after the entrance, the cave widens, forming a large hall with an area of 2,400 square meters. The height of the hall is 60 meters; even though at some places it reaches 100 meters.

About 200 meters of the entrance, the two fields break away from the hall. The left one is over two kilometers long, a little river runs along it, which passes through the central hall and flows into the Osam River. The right field is warm and dry. Its entrance is 2.5 meters high and 5.7 meters wide. The field widens after the entrance and forms a rectangular hall about 50 meters long and 10 to 15 meters wide. This field ends with a minor gallery with a round room, also known as the Altar. The cave was declared a natural landmark by order No RD 238/ 7 June 1996.
