The Horseshoe Bend (“the curve of the Horseshoe ”) is the name of a meander du river Colorado located 6 km south of the town of Page en Arizona et corresponding to an old eroded plateau.

This site, little known before the 2010s, saw its popularity explode through social networks such asinstagram, forcing the authorities to develop it to be able to receive more than 1.5 million tourists annually. The Horseshoe Bend has a particular shape sculpted by Colorado. Because here, the emerald river that winds through the dizzying walls of the canyon takes a 180° turn, like a loop.
