The River Agura rises in The Alek Mountains Range (1.000 meters above sea level). In the Agurskoye Gorge the river drops 30 meters (100 feet) in two cascades to form the Agura Waterfalls. The starting point of this walking tour is 10 miles from the city center.

The path begins at the point where a wide forest clearing comes closest to the road. Rising on both sides of the path are giant trees: beech, sycamore and linden. On the left, the river Agura runs through the deep gorge. After 35-40 minute walk you arrive to the first waterfall where the gorge becomes so narrow that the two giant rocks look as if they were split by the strim.

The water tumbles down the stones and then falls into a small oval lake, about 12 meters (39 feet) deep. If you decide to walk further, the path will lead you to the second waterfall, about 500 meters from the first. The third waterfall, only 6 meters (19.5 feet) high, is squeezed in deep and narrow gorge.

20 min drive from Sochi centre + 30 min walk to the waterfall
