TRES (DOS) Saltos


Hola everyone,

just a quick update from yesterdays trip to Tres Saltos waterfalls. Those drops are amazing site of 3 drops and couple mandatory portages. The whole mission started in front of Kayak Pucon shop, where the group steadily grew until we left in Rodrigo's van and one truck. After paying the 700 pesos each for the entrance, we were ready to get our boats and hiked up the trail to the put in. The and the most famous drop was unfortunately too low to run so we settled up for the first two. The first drop is a tricky entrance into a slide ending with like a 15ft drop.

There is a second drop just after it which is a photogenic but quite messy slide drop which tends (and does) kicflip you at the bottom part. Just hold on...

After the second drop, there is another portage and in our case the take out. THe get out of the river is almost impossible without a set throw-bag from the top. Really scetchy take out...
