Everyone knows that the highest waterfall in the world is Angel Falls in Venezuela. But there’s another waterfall that many people don’t know. It’s called Marmore Falls in Italy and it’s the highest manmade* waterfall. Although Angel Falls is more famous, Marmore Falls is very beautiful and has lots of visitors. The Romans made the waterfall, so it is over 2,000 years old. The water in Marmore Falls is used to create electric power. This means the water turns on and off. So before you visit, the most important thing to do is check what time the water turns on.
August is the worst time to visit Marmore Falls because there are too many tourists. August is the hottest month and most people in Italy take their holiday then. It’s better to go in July or September. At this time, you can get a better view and you can take nicer photos. There are many restaurants in the area, but the best is in the Hotel Cursula. It serves really good local food. It’s more expensive than the others but the pasta is fantastic.
