One of the short alternatives that El Chaltén offers for a morning or afternoon break. The trail to the chorrillo del salto is ideal for those who are looking for something quiet but pleasant at the same time. From this viewpoint we will be able to observe a beautiful waterfall of 15 meters high, which then flows into the Rio de las Vueltas.
The trail begins at the end of San Martin Avenue and shares a small portion of the route with the trail to Laguna de los Tres, although it is also possible to continue straight along Provincial Route 41 up to the fork.
It is very well signposted and there are several points where it is possible to appreciate the Rio de las Vueltas.
Total distance (round trip): Approximately 7 km / 4.3 mi.
Estimated time (round trip): It depends on the physical conditions of each person, but we estimate about 1:30 / 2:00 hs in total.
Time: Full day tour. It is suggested to start early in the morning to take advantage of the maximum amount of daylight hours.
