Tequendama Falls is an upcoming museum in San Antonio del Tequendama, Colombia.

Now, it is a major tourist attraction. The thousands of tourists who visit the area to admire the 157 metre (515 feet) tall waterfall and the surrounding nature, make a stop at another nearby landmark as well, the abandoned Hotel del Salto. Situated just opposite to the waterfall and on the edge of the cliff, it provided a breathtaking view to its guests.
