Itinerary

Beirut

We'll pick you up from your hotel, and head to the Waterfall destination which is 1 hour 15 minutes drive

Afqa Waterfall

First Stop will be Afqa Waterfall, In classical Greek mythology, Afqa is associated with the cult of Aphrodite and Adonis. According to the myth, Cinyras, the King of Cyprus seduced his daughter Myrrha who was transformed into a tree that bears her name. After several months, the tree split open and the child Adonis emerged. He was reared by Aphrodite, who became enamored of him, causing her lover Ares to grow jealous. Ares sent a vicious boar to kill Adonis. At the pool at the foot of the falls of Afqa, Adonis bled to death from a deep wound in the groin. Aphrodite despaired at his death and out of pity for her the gods allowed Adonis to ascend from Hades for a short period each year.

60 minutes

Baatara Gorge Waterfall

Second Stop will be Baatara Waterfall, The waterfall drops 255 metres (837 ft) into the Balaa Pothole, a cave of Jurassic limestone. The cave is also known as the Cave of the Three Bridges. The Three Bridges Chasm (in French Gouffre des Trois Ponts) is a five-minute journey into the valley below where one sees three natural bridges, rising one above the other and overhanging a chasm descending into Mount Lebanon. During the spring melt, a 90–100-metre (300–330 ft) cascade falls behind the three bridges and then down into the 240-metre (790 ft) chasm.

60 minutes

Kfar Helda

Third Visit will be Kfarhelda Waterfall, This large waterfall acts as a source for the Joz river, and some farmers also use the water to help their agriculture. It has another smaller waterfall stemming from it so that you can see it as a double treat. The water is fresh, and the sprays can be felt from above the foliage, so your trek to the waterfall will be quite a pleasant one.
