Nant y Fall Waterfalls

Cascadas Nant y Fall

A group of waterfalls southwest of Trevelin, with a forest trail linking seven tiers of falls, the largest dropping about 65 meters. The name comes from Welsh.

Nant y Fall means “waterfall stream” in Welsh. It lies beside Route RN259 on the way from Trevelin to the Chilean border and is a provincial protected area. Climbing up the entrance trail for about 1.5 km, a round trip of 1 to 1.5 hours, you can see multiple waterfalls one after another. The main falls are wide and spectacular, and there are viewing platforms along the way. A small entrance fee applies (check on site), and there is a picnic campground and a small shop. It is about 25 km from Trevelin. There is no public bus, so you need to drive yourself or join a tour. Water flow is highest in spring, when snow melts.
