This waterfall is about 800 meters away from Texolo Waterfall, it's about 15 meters tall, and it forms a pool at the bottom where you can cool off.
This waterfall is a bit more hidden due to the lush vegetation, so when you arrive, you'll feel like you're discovering a little paradise.
It's important to note that the river, especially during the rainy season, can be dangerous. In fact, its name comes from an incident in the mid-20th century when a nun jumped into the river to try to save a girl who had fallen in during an outing, but neither of them made it out. It's worth mentioning that this tragedy didn't happen exactly at the waterfall but further downstream in the river.
