It falls from a height of about {{convert|90|m}}. While the waterfall is highly active in the rainy season, during the summer it is reduced to a trickle into the pond below which is used for bathing.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.visitazores.com/en/the-azores/places-to-visit/landscapes/flores/poco-do-bacalhau|title=Poço do Bacalhau |publisher=Visit Azores|accessdate=2 August 2015 |language=}}</ref> The waterfall is fed from the mountains in the centre of the island which are frequently covered in cloud. [[Eels]] can be observed in the pond below the falls.
