On the way back from our hike to Mirador La Picada, we made a short stop at Saltos del Petrohue (Petrohue waterfalls). This is a touristy stop for good reason. A short path takes you from the parking lot to incredibly blue waters and some pretty amazing waterfalls. Being a tourist attraction, you have to come prepared to pay for paring and also for entering the .2 mile trail system. It’s not necessarily a hike, but if you’re in the area, is worth making the stop to check it out. Once you pay the dues. The path splits in two. The path to the left travels over rocks and chasms towards the waterfall viewpoint. Views are just incredible from pretty much anywhere but especially when you pass a bridge over a narrow slit with rushing water under you. There’s a secondary trail that goes to the lower side of the river and visits some hidden forests before reaching the river bank. The contrast between the blue water and the grey rocks is outstanding in the area which is why I decided to mention it here.
