Saltos de Petrohué
Beste tid å besøke
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.
Budsjettips
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.

Om
Raske fakta: Vulkanutbrudd fra Osorno-vulkanen skapte basaltkanalene som leder denne elvens iskalde vann. Hvert sekund strømmer smeltevann fra Andesbreene gjennom med en slående turkis fargetone, og faller omtrent 20 meter i en rekke kaskader før det renner mot havet.
Høydepunkter: Besøkende kjenner bakken skjelve før de ser skummet, og vannet holder en glassaktig, unaturlig turkis farge selv når det pisker sidelengs gjennom trange lavakorridorer. På solrike morgener fanger spruten lyset over vulkanens snødekte 2 652 meter høye kjegle, som reiser seg rett bak fossen.
Insidertips
- 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.
