The waterfall originates from Mount Kloto[1] and is fed by a stream named Kamalo,[2] which flows through the Missahoé protected forest.[2] The waterfall itself is located near the commune of Missahoé[3][4] and the commune of Agomé-Yoh. The only mineral water company in Togo, named "Cascade", used it as a source until the early 1990s.[5] It then opened to tourism and became the most visited waterfall in the country.[1][5] This was particularly possible because it is easily accessible,[1][3][4] as it is close to the paved road connecting Kpalimé and Kuma-Konda.[1]
