The sound waves travel till a solid vertical obstacle, hit it and bounce back, travelling towards you. When they reach you, you can hear the sound you made, but it's several seconds off, the delay depending on the distance the sound had to cover.

What causes an echo to be heard?

An echo is heard when sound waves bounce off a hard surface and return to the listener's ear after a short delay. This delay is a result of the time it takes for the sound waves to travel to the surface and back. The distance between the sound source and the surface also affects the strength and clarity of the echo.
