of Lake Tana. It has many things of interest for
visitors, such as its colorful market. This market

works.
the Blue Nile Falls and
Lake Tana
About 30 km away from Bahir Dar there is the majestic
Blue Nile Falls where waters of the Nile plunge
over a cliff that is 50 meters long and 400 meters
wide.
It is breath taking to view the falls breaking
the smooth, majestic edge of the rolling Nile
in to a thundering cataract of white water foaming
and boiling down a dark cliff.
