33 waterfalls are one of the most famous and beautiful sights of Sochi. However, it is a very touristy place. If you want to be alone with nature, choose other waterfalls!
33 waterfalls - a beautiful place: hanging moss, powerful trees, fonts where you can swim. Shady and cool. However, be sure to check with the locals Are the waterfalls full, after all, after a long drought, you risk admiring thin strings of water!
Decided to go? Great, but you need to know a couple of nuances... The cascade of waterfalls in the Shakhe River valley is a super popular place. Excursions to 33 waterfalls are offered at every step, so if you want to enjoy nature more or less alone, choose other places: Svir gorge and Mamedovo gorge under Lazorevsky, Yew-boxwood grove in Khost, Psakho canyon on the way to Krasnaya Polyana. Or come at the end of the season when there are almost no tourists.
And also, in order not to be disappointed, you need to understand where you are going. 33 Dzhegosh waterfalls have already become, probably, a symbol of the greed of the tourism industry of the Krasnodar Territory. Parking is paid, entrance is paid, and the approach to the waterfalls is generally one big market, mainly with chebureks and tastings. Although, I must pay tribute, there I ate the most delicious cheburek in my life - airy, juicy, with real meat. I still remember him.

How to get to 33 waterfalls
The nearest large resorts are Sochi and Lazarevskoye, the smaller ones are Golovinka. We went there from Ashe on excursion "jeeps" across the Shahe River. On the way back, the "jeep" broke down ... So I advise you to drive your car, since the road is excellent, and on the way there are beautiful views of the river. Parking coordinates: 43.838192, 39.558643.
Public transport does not go to the waterfalls, so if you don't have your own car, then take a tour... We have selected for you the best excursions according to the reviews of tourists, the guides of which promise to come to the falls outside rush hours:
