The Montaneza River that flows its way through a narrow ravine is the source of water for the falls. The area and hills around the waterfalls is surrounded by lush tropical plants and trees.

The waterfalls has become popular in recent years due to the sport of canyoning, which has become one of the tourist attractions in the area. Canyoning is a recreational sports activity that uses a variety of techniques that may include walking, scrambling, climbing, jumping, abseiling or swimming in canyons through their cliffs, rivers and waterfalls.
