Its name is due to the fact that in that area, the stream descends a great unevenness, and in one of its areas, it has produced on the ground, a kind of staircase in its descent.

Judes Lagoon is a lagoon formed by the subsidence of limestone (karst) terrain. It usually has water at the end of winter and in spring.
