Saltos Pocolpen is a private park located in the commune of Curarrehue that has an area of 222,000 m² in which you will find forests, waterfalls, cliffs, mountain and hill views, domestic and wild fauna. We have trekking trails suitable for all public and well signposted. We have picnic area and stoves for roasts (must carry coal). The restrictions are: At the end of your visit you must remove the generated garbage and the entry of pets is not allowed. The main attraction are three beautiful little-known waterfalls that go down the Pocolpen estuary. During the trip to the place you can enjoy views of the impressive Lanin volcano, Peinetas hill, Colmillo del Diablo hill and Pocolpen hill, at any time of the year these views are beautiful but in autumn they are a real spectacle. The best thing is that you check them yourself. We will wait for you!

Reviewed By KatrienS955 - Ghent, Belgium
There are 2 possible entrances, both on private land, to see the waterfalls from. The person at the hotel highly suggested we take the 2nd entrance, or christo. It involved a walk of 2 km on a ripio road, so you are about suffocated by dust by the time you arrive. However, with a bit op patience as the viewing platforms are not that large, one get to see the small lake into which 4 waterfalls fall, from several different angles. The waterfalls are not that large, but having 4 in one tiny lake, is impressive. And the lake is an amazing blue, really fantastic. There are several walkways one can follow as well as a short walk in the woods along the river. The main attraction is a hotspot for selfies and photo shoots, certainly amongst the Chilean visitors, which detracts a bit from the natural beauty, certainly on days when it is crowded.
