A majestic place. It's a long drive past the Olginsky waterfalls. We drove sedans, did not get two kilometers, the road became completely bad, left the cars on the road and walked. 43.027278, 41.268794 In this place you can rent a UAZ, it will be cheaper than taking it from the sea, there is also the last grocery store.
The most interesting thing is further there are two places from where you can go 43.028482, 41.328741, the other is a little further. There is a small cafe in this place, barbecue is fried.
The place of the waterfalls itself is located at the bottom. It is very difficult to descend, and it is even more difficult to climb - sneakers are required.
In the summer, the riverbed dries up and there is a small shower from a height, but even along the riverbed it is very interesting to walk. Then there is a deep river. There are three caves that are not equipped for tourists, they are flooded, you can walk 200-300 meters, then go deep and you need equipment.

The canyon itself is impressive, of course. But a lot depends on the time of year and the amount of running water. We were there in July 24. There is very little water. Keep in mind that the descent into the gorge in the heat is not for people with heart disease! An earthen path of 250 meters at an angle of 45gr. Now about the road: it's terrible! And the closer to the finish line in the village of Amtkel, the worse it gets! On puzoterki with a short base - definitely not to meddle! In the village, a peasant offered tangerine juice, honey, and cheese. We took the juice (it's fine) and nuts in honey (the price is normal).

A unique natural place. The beauty is stunning. The waterfall is difficult. It is necessary to descend deep down the slope of the canyon of the river. A real place of power.

We were in June 2024. Very contradictory impressions remained. One of the advantages is nature. The tour is a solid minus. A lot depends on the guide. He told us that he would not shout at the whole car. I just brought them in and dropped them off. Take pictures and let's move on. For some reason, the announcement for the excursion does not warn about shoes, which are necessary, the descent for us, people 50+, turned out to be very difficult, and the ascent is even worse, to be honest, we did not expect such a march. They came, but there was no waterfall, and then it turned out that it was dry-the cherry on the cake. The whole tour was at a kind of frenzied pace. Considering that we had lunch in a cafe, the whole tour took us 6 hours.

One of the most beautiful places in Abkhazia, of course the road to it is very difficult, especially if you get there by car, but it's worth it. It's better to take a guided tour.

I cannot appreciate the waterfall itself, since we simply did not reach it a kilometer because of the huge pit, and did not dare to leave the car (kia soul) on this "road" in the wilderness. We drove about 25 km for 2 hours in one direction, the road is very badly broken, and even if we drive carefully, it will not work everywhere. Jeeps were passing by, take a ride to the waterfall on them, do not torment your car.

We were here in early July 2023.
We got there in a rented CR-V, the road for the crossover is normal, passable, but they still charged us a fine of 5000 rubles. For going to a prohibited location.
But perhaps it was worth it. In our opinion, this is the most beautiful place where we have been in Abkhazia and where they did not charge us for visiting, which even surprised us.
We were alone, we even managed to swim in the waterfall. The bends of the canyon are impressive, we have never seen such a thing anywhere else. Plants, white stones, ledges of rocks, as if a landscape designer had worked there. This must be seen, the photo does not convey the fabulousness of the landscape. And the air is so fresh and saturated.
The descent is quite steep, but a family with an infant and a 2-year-old child was leaving in front of us. So if you carefully, slowly, it is possible for everyone to go down and climb.

Guys. There is no water there in summer. The descent and ascent are quite difficult. You just need a normal physical form. It's hard for children. Don't even think about it in flip-flops and sneakers.

A magnificent view, if you go down to the waterfall, opens the best, the most epic of what I have seen in Abkhazia (my personal subjective assessment). First of all, I mean the pile of giant stones and the shape of the canyon walls.
Positive: there are almost no people, garbage, equipped descent down
Important: we highly do not recommend going there by car (we tried it on a Honda fit). Unfortunately, the road is very bad, slightly less than completely consisting of pits of varying degrees of depth. A road that can turn into a painful snail traffic with constant detour of these pits and the risk of damaging the car.
Cons: very bad road; you need to pay extra money for delivery to the place or come up with something with the rental of a passable car
They say that some of the rental services do not put GPS sensors and theoretically it is possible to drive their cars, but it hurts.
By the way, on maps.me it shows an alternative path to the waterfall , but it is not worth going along it, because it is very overgrown and not interesting

Must-visit
It's perfect to drive here in a prepared jeep, then nothing will happen, but 3 years ago I drove to the turn to the waterfall on a Hyundai sonata, if you know how to drive, then you can drive a sedan, but very slowly and carefully, otherwise you will leave the car there. The waterfall has three steps, it is better to go to the bottom first, and incrementally upwards, then there will be no shortness of breath and it will not be hard
Good luck getting there and you won't regret what you saw

We were at the Shakuran waterfall in early May. It is impossible to get here by public transport. First, a jeep ride, and then 2 kilometers on foot through the subtropical forest. Since we were after the rain, the descent to the waterfall was not so easy.
But the waterfall itself is magnificent. The jet falls from a height of 30-35 meters, somewhere in the middle of the fall, the jet breaks on a large stone and flows down from it in dozens of jets.

On September 1, 2024, the waterfall is missing as a class, i.e. not a drop, it's just a canyon. The road from the Olginsky waterfalls is terrible, it is definitely not worth going for it.

We were in August 2022, the place is amazingly beautiful, an aesthetic pleasure! The waterfall is really dry as a month (since July the water has been running out there), but there is something to see. Bungee jumping, even scary to watch))
Entrance is free, guarded parking is 100₽. Cafe , apiary and winery. Honey was taken there, of all the tried, this honey is the most delicious and, as the owner said, the most natural, even with documents and prizes.

We were driving a Solaris car from Sukhum. We drove 28 km for 3 hours. The road is a horror! But it was worth it!!!
It was in May, the waters in the waterfall were in order, The beauty was incredible, especially at the bottom. There are no words to describe this Miracle of Nature! It must be seen. Of all the waterfalls in Abkhazia, this one is the coolest!!!
You definitely need to visit it

A fantastic place. The waterfall is "wild", that is, there are no organized photo sites and the descent is not for children under 12 years old. You need comfortable shoes and get ready for dirt. But it's worth it!
By the way, from the Olginsky waterfall to the Shakrukhansky Military-Sukhumi road is badly broken. The average speed on the section is 6-8 km/h.

Beautiful! But there is no water. It's like we went for a walk and that's it. If you are going on an excursion, ask how the situation is there.

The place is gorgeous. Very beautiful. You have to be athletic. We arrived in a sedan. It's a hard road. There are many places where I rubbed my belly, but you can be careful. There was no waterfall. It was dry. But the place is gorgeous.

I was there at the end of May. I agree with previous statements about both stunning views and extreme sports. I will add that there is not only a waterfall, but a fairly large lake and you can swim in it, who is not afraid of cold water. Of course, there are more powerful waterfalls, but this one is beautiful in its own way. Water falls from a great height, not only in a jet but also millions of drops into a huge enclosed space into which the sun's rays penetrate through the crowns of trees. The drops sparkle magically. You need to see it with your own eyes.

The view is very beautiful, but it is very difficult to get there, down the steep cliffs, it is slippery below, take comfortable shoes. And there are also barbecues)) you can take a barbecue and fry it.
We were in May, the most comfortable weather to visit this place.

Dear tourists! When you go on an excursion to this waterfall, put sneakers on your feet. Be prepared for the fact that you will soak them completely. The descent to the waterfall is quite normal, but you must definitely go with a guide. In one place, you will cross a shallow mountain river, but get your feet wet.
Therefore, be sure to take shoes with you, at least slates - to change into them when you return to your transport and eat back dry and spiritual.The place is very beautiful.I recommend you to visit.

The impressive nature, especially the mountains, is like the scenery from a fantasy film about another planet. An atypical view even for Abkhazia. A waterfall in the form of a waterfall does not always exist. It is especially good during high water, but then you can't get to it "dry".
