The pool is named for the French writer Pierre Loti, who lived in the area for some time. It is the 28th-highest waterfall in the world. The falls are also known as Fachoda Falls, after Fort Fachoda, a ruined fort found at the top of the falls.The falls are accessible for tourists and hikers, although the purchase of an access permit is required. The hike is estimated to take anywhere from 3-6 hours, depending on which route one takes.
