A very interesting place to explore, the temperature drops drastically, the path from the tea house to the gorge is short, about 20 minutes. Being part of the Cerro Tronador tourist circuit, it is usually very crowded.

The trail was blocked by a landslide, but we got pretty close to the waterfall! The scenery, along with the history told by the signs, was very interesting!
