Six kilometers southwest of Petrohué, the Saltos del Petrohué is a rushing, frothing waterfall raging through a narrow volcanic rock canyon carved by lava. Anyone wondering why the rafting trips don’t start from the lake will find the answer here, although experienced kayakers have been known to take it on (though we’d like to see the canyoners try it).
A new well-done visitor center houses a cafe and handicrafts shops. Try to arrive after 9:15am, once the TurisTur day tour bus brigade has departed.
