The falls occupy over 142 hectares, being made up of six branches divided on three landings.

[1] On a first level, is a main fall subdivided into two parallel branches of a length estimated at 80 m about which pours on a basin.

Another smaller waterfall is located roughly 50 m to the west of this main fall.

Waters of these two falls converge on a second landing to form the third waterfall which pours on the valley.
