Kamurj Jurvezh, more commonly known as Jermuk Waterfall, is a captivating natural wonder nestled in the heart of Jermuk, a renowned spa town in Armenia. The waterfall is situated on the Jermuk River, a tributary of the Arpa River, and is one of the most striking sights in the Vayots Dzor province. Falling from a height of 68 meters (approximately 223 feet), the water creates a mesmerizing spectacle as it crashes into the Arpa River gorge below.

The surrounding landscape is characterized by lush alpine vegetation and rugged cliffs, providing a picturesque backdrop for this natural attraction. According to local legend, a nobleman's daughter who secretly met a shepherd's son at the falls was cursed and transformed into a mermaid, forever bound to the waters. This tale adds a touch of mystique to the already enchanting atmosphere of the waterfall. Jermuk itself is known for its therapeutic mineral waters, fresh air, and stunning mountain scenery. The waterfall is easily accessible from the town center, making it a must-see destination for visitors seeking to immerse themselves in Armenia's natural beauty.
