The Bandeira Waterfall (Portuguese: Cascata Bandeira, Tetum: Be Tuda Bandera) is a tall waterfall in the municipality of Ermera, Timor-Leste. It forms part of a minor tributary of the Loes River.
Geography
[edit | edit source]The waterfall is located just to the east of the Letefoho–Atsabe road near Atsabe in the Ermera municipality.[1][2][3] The tallest waterfall in Timor-Leste,[2][4] it has been described as "é de registar"[1] (transl. worth noting), and as "... an impressive sight in the wet season."[2]
At the waterfall, the Bandeira River (Portuguese: Rio Bandeira, Tetum: Mota Bandera)[3] flows over a vertical cliff.[5]
The river then feeds into the Magapu River,[6] which is a tributary of the Loes River, and, at that point, marks the border between the sucos of Baboi Leten (to its north) and Baboi Craic (to its south).[7]: 12, 13
Economy
[edit | edit source]The waterfall has been identified as having geotourism potential,[8] and the river as being a hydrological resource with tourism potential.[9]
