The waterfall is roughly 60–80 feet (18–24 m) high. There is a bridge over the gorge connecting the dense woodland together. On the other side there are two smaller waterfalls that can be seen from some of the footpaths in the area.[2]
Film appearances
The falls and the surrounding area have been used in several movies, including Romancing The Stone[3] and Clear and Present Danger (film).[4] In Romancing The Stone, the jewel is hidden in a cave behind a waterfall and Texolo Waterfall was used for that scene.
