Tequendamita Falls, Natural cascade in Eastern Antioquia, Colombia.
The Tequendamita Falls forms a vertical drop of water flowing through a narrow rocky gorge in the dense forest near El Retiro.
The falls gained recognition during the early colonial period when Spanish settlers discovered this natural formation while exploring the Antioquia region.
Local indigenous communities consider the falls a sacred space for meditation and spiritual connection with nature through traditional ceremonies.
Visitors can reach the falls through a marked trail from El Retiro municipality, with parking facilities and guide services available at the entrance.
The falls maintain a consistent water flow throughout the year due to the natural underground springs that feed into the river system.
