The incredible waterfalls are formed as the Yaxhá River descends in a stepped manner, creating a series of pools or natural pools of intense turquoise color due to the limestone riverbed. 

For those who enjoy adventure and with the help of local guides, it is possible to explore even more spectacular waterfalls, as the staircase continues downstream until the river rushes into the Tulijá, forming one of the most beautiful water curtains.

It features kitchen areas, craft shops, a walkway, swimming areas, guide services, and cabins.
