Chorrillo del Salto

Chorrillo del Salto is a striking waterfall located just 3 kilometres from El Chaltén, plunging 20 metres over a cliff into a gravelly basin surrounded by lush vegetation. This beautiful cascade, named after the Guaitecas language, showcases the natural beauty of the region, particularly the deep blues and greens of glacial waters. Visit Chorrillo del Salto year-round, but it is especially picturesque in spring and summer when the surrounding flora is in bloom. The short hike to the waterfall is well-marked and offers views of the surrounding mountains, making it a pleasant diversion before or after tackling one of the nearby treks, such as Laguna de los Tres.
