Keterisi Mineral Vaucluse Natural Monument (Georgian: ქეთერისის მინერალური ვოკლუზი) is a cluster of powerful artesian aquifers pouring out mineral water at the foot of the Greater Caucasus, known as Narzan vaucluse: these mineral springs provide 25-30 million liters of hydrocarbonate-calcium water per day,[1] (300-350 liters per second). It is the source of a stream with waterfalls in the village of Keterisi.[2][3][4]

It is part of the Kazbegi Protected Areas[5] along with Kazbegi National Park and five Natural Monuments:
