When you think of immense waterfalls, Niagara Falls might come to mind — and with good reason. That said, there's a South American waterfall destination (also shared by two countries) gaining so much popularity in 2026 that it may just make you forget about Niagara Falls. This same year, it also received Tripadvisor's prestigious Traveler's Choice Best of the Best award. The dramatic 1.7-mile-wide South American waterfall beats its North American counterpart in sheer size, being both taller and wider than Niagara. Unlike the famous lyric from TLC's 1995 hit song, these are waterfalls you'll definitely want to chase.
