See the full FAQIt is a hidden treasure where the water carves its way through reddish rock walls, plunging forcefully into a natural pool surrounded by pristine vegetation. The landscape retains a mystical and nostalgic air, with old wild apple trees planted by the area's first settlers. It is a quiet corner, perfect for walking, contemplating the forest, and taking photographs far from the mass tourist tracks.
See who offers this experienceIt is a spectacular 30-meter-high waterfall fed by the natural outflow of Lake Two. The surrounding environment features a scenic transition from steppe to lenga forests, where the water crashes forcefully over a natural rock amphitheater, breaking the stillness of the rural landscape. During the spring, snowmelt doubles its flow to create a breathtaking sight, while during extreme winters, the cascade freezes completely, turning into a monumental and striking vertical ice sculpture.
It is an impressive 10-meter-high waterfall tucked away deep within the Andean forest. The landscape captivates with its lush, humid atmosphere, where the cascade generates a constant mist that nourishes the mosses and ferns blanketing the surrounding rocks. Reaching it requires a demanding mountain trek up through steep canyons, making it a true visual reward for technical hikers.
It is the stone guardian of the region, an imposing mountain whose kidney-shaped silhouette crowns the southern landscape. Climbing it on foot involves crossing native Andean forests and loose-rock slopes. As you gain altitude, your efforts are rewarded with a unique panoramic balcony that offers a colossal view of the massive Lake Vintter —shared between Argentina and Chile— and the high, snow-capped peaks defining the international border.
