Saltos de Petrohué
Mejor época para visitar
Visit late morning on a clear day, when sunlight burns off the mist and the water glows its brightest turquoise. Summer months of December through February offer the most reliable clear skies.
Consejos para el presupuesto
Entry costs about 4,000 CLP per adult and is covered by the same ticket that admits you to the broader national park. Pack your own snacks and water, and go on a weekday to skip the entrance queue.

Acerca de
Datos rápidos: "Las erupciones volcánicas del volcán Osorno esculpieron los canales de basalto que canalizan el agua gélida de este río. Cada segundo, el agua de deshielo glaciar de los Andes fluye con un llamativo tono turquesa, descendiendo unos 20 metros en una serie de cascadas antes de fluir hacia el mar."
Destacados: "Los visitantes sienten temblar el suelo antes de ver la espuma, y el agua mantiene un turquesa vidrioso y sobrenatural incluso mientras se agita lateralmente por estrechos pasillos de lava. En las mañanas soleadas, el rocío atrapa la luz sobre el cono nevado de 2.652 metros del volcán, que se alza directamente detrás de las cascadas."
Consejos de expertos
- Wear a rain jacket or quick-dry layer, since heavy spray coats the raised boardwalks running right beside the falls.
- Photograph from the lower wooden platform around 11 a.m., when the angle fits both the volcano and the blast of water into one frame.
- Skip the gift shop and instead walk the short river loop to see the basalt channels upstream of the main drop.
- Arrive right at the 9 a.m. opening to capture the flow before tour buses crowd the viewing platforms.
