Cascada - catarata

[noquiexis]

I wrote to , who directed me here.

Spanishpod101,

What is the difference between cascada and catarada in how they both describe a waterfall? Also, do you know where this beautiful waterfall is located?

Hola,

They are synonyms, but "catarata" refers to a higher waterfall.
