The Colombian waterfall, over 150 meters high, hides a dark tradition.

Colombia boasts wonderful landscapes and places that blend geographical immensity with paranormal events. If you're looking for a different adventure, this place will amaze you, but also leave you trembling with fear. Where is it located?

According to ProColombia, Tequendama Falls holds the story of hundreds of lost souls. "It is located approximately 30 km southwest of the country's capital, and its paranormal stories are mostly related to the supposed lost souls of the many suicides who have taken their lives by throwing themselves into the abyss."

The stories and beliefs are many, and some maintain that "this space has a special power that invites those who get too close to the shore to jump in. However, it is also said that the deaths date back to when indigenous tribes in the region would take their prisoners and force them to jump in."

What is hidden in the house near the waterfall?

Although many believe the jump is the terrifying thing, the house located on one side holds thousands of equally terrifying stories. "The strange events are concentrated mainly on the side, facing the precipice, in a large house that currently houses a museum and was once a train station, then a hotel, and finally a restaurant."

From apparitions of headless men to sounds of fighting, these are some of the things that happen in the compound, even "locals claim that to this day a nun who accidentally fell into the waters that flow into what is now called the Lake of the Dead wanders around."

Declared a Natural Heritage Site by Colombia

Beyond the stories that may exist, the beauty of this place is unique and unparalleled. In 2019, it was declared a Natural Heritage Site of Colombia for being home to more than 120 animal species, including the endangered spectacled bear, and a cloud forest with endemic flora. Furthermore, its water flow supplies seven municipalities in Cundinamarca, benefiting 340,000 people. Regardless, its conservation and maintaining the majesty of its geography intact are a priority.
