Truso Travertines Natural Monument (Georgian: თრუსოს ტრავერტინი) is calcareous sinter or tufa in Truso valley on the right bank of Terek river at 2093 meters above the sea level in Kazbegi Municipality, Georgia. It is located about 2 km from village Keterisi where local population lives only seasonally.

It is part of Kazbegi Protected Areas[2] along with Kazbegi National Park and five Natural Monuments:
