About This Waterfall
We had suspected a relatively small waterfall between Catarata Chinata and Catarata Yumbilla. Amazon Waterfalls Association's site confirmed this theory. When we say relatively small, it is only by comparison as our estimate of the height is supported by Google Earth's elevation profile at being between 1312 feet (400 meters) and 1640 feet (500 meters.) At either figure, it's quite tall. The falls drop down a heavily forested ravine and burst out in a horsetail display that is likely 800' to 900' in height.
