The falls are located about 115 kilometers from Brasília and are reached by a paved road that makes access straightforward. The water flow is most impressive after rainfall, so timing a visit accordingly offers the best experience.

The water from the Itiquira River above the falls is so clean that a bottling facility operates upstream to capture this pure source. This high water quality makes the location special compared to other waterfalls in the region.
