El Salto Waterfall is a classic trekking destination in Potrerillos, in the department of Luján de Cuyo. The trail starts at the El Salto locality, in the ravine of the stream of the same name, and leads to a waterfall located about 2,700 meters above sea level.
The route is almost 7 km one way with a constant incline, so a certain level of fitness is recommended. The path is well marked, crosses the stream in several sections, and the last stretch is the most demanding. Hiking guides suggest bringing a small backpack, water, trail snacks, trekking shoes and comfortable warm clothing.
How to get there
Take Provincial Route 89 from Potrerillos, and from there a road of about 5 km leads to Puesto El Salto. You must park inside the property and pay a small entrance fee before starting the hike.
Practical information
It is best to leave early so you can return in daylight. Some visitors' accounts mention that access is coordinated with the property staff and that there are entry time limits, but these details may change: confirm them before you go.
