Petrohué Waterfalls Tours and Tickets

Q: How much does it cost to visit Petrohué Waterfalls in 2026?

It costs around 8,200 pesos to enter the Petrohué Waterfalls per person. If you’re arriving by car, there’s also a parking fee of US$2 per person. Sightseeing tours that depart from Puerto Varas and visit the falls along with the Osorno Volcano start from US$46.

Q: Are the Petrohué Waterfalls worth it?

Yes, the Petrohué Waterfalls are well worth visiting. It’s rare you get to see so much pristine, crystal-clear water flowing at such speed, particularly with a backdrop of the Osorno Volcano. Plus, Puerto Varas is quite an off-the-beaten-path destination, so you’re not likely to have to share the space with large crowds.

Q: What activities can you do at the Petrohué Waterfalls?

The Petrohué Waterfalls are made for outdoor adventure thanks to the stunning natural landscapes surrounding them. The waters around the falls are rich with trout, so it’s a popular spot for fishing. You can also go kayaking downstream and embark on scenic hikes through the forest behind the waterfalls.

Q: Are there any hotels or restaurants near the Petrohué Waterfalls?

Yes, there is a small settlement by the waterfalls called Petrohué, home to several accommodation and restaurant options. You can stay at the Petrohué Lodge, a great base for exploring the area, or camp on the banks of the Petrohué River at the campsite. There are also a couple of rustic restaurants serving Patagonian classics.

Q: Are there any other attractions near the Petrohué Waterfalls?

Petrohué Waterfalls is on the western end of Lake Todos los Santos, so there are many natural attractions near the falls. You can relax on the beaches of the lake and go swimming (though the water is brisk year-round). Another top locale nearby is the Osorno Volcano, an active volcano that you can see from the cascades.

Joaquin was an absolutely amazing guide + driver. The other guests ended up canceling so we were lucky enough to essentially get a private tour. He was extremely knowledgeable, helpful, friendly, and we had a wonderful day. Petrohue falls is even more awe inspiring and beautiful as it looks, and you get gorgeous shots of volcán Osorno in the back. Would absolutely recommend this tour!

Absolute Highlight of My Travels — Exceptional from Start to Finish!

I just completed an incredible full-day tour of Osorno Volcano, Saltos del Petrohué, and Lago Todos los Santos. From the start, the easy booking process and excellent pre-tour organization put me completely at ease. Every logistical detail was handled seamlessly, allowing me to simply enjoy the breathtaking volcanic landscape. We began along the shores of Lago Llanquihue before entering the national park and stopping at Saltos del Petrohué. Here, the river’s sheer force is mesmerizing as it roars through narrow chutes of black crystalline lava rock, carved by centuries of flowing water. The emerald-green water, fed by melting Andean snow, creates a striking contrast against the dark volcanic stone. We then ascended the steep slopes of Volcán Osorno, stopping at the ski center at 1,200 meters. Standing near the eternal snowfields below the volcano’s white-capped summit, we enjoyed a sweeping panorama of the vast lake basin, Calbuco Volcano across the valley, and the distant Pacific Ocean. This company doesn’t just show you the sights—it takes care of you like family. Professional, organized, safe, and deeply passionate, they made the entire experience unforgettable. Do not hesitate to book with them.
