Salto Río Blanco

Salto Río Blanco is a waterfall located within Parque Nacional Hornopirén in the Los Lagos Region, along the northern Carretera Austral. Reaching it requires a trek of roughly 1.

5 hours each way, following the course of Río Blanco through native Patagonian forest. The round-trip distance is approximately 6 kilometers of uphill trail.

The waterfall sits inside the national park boundary, though the access point passes through private land.

The surrounding landscape of dense native forest and the river corridor makes the hike itself a highlight of the experience, and the area is popular with trekkers and trail runners exploring this stretch of southern Chile.
