On our way to hike around Volcano Osorno we stopped at Saltos de Petrohué. A series of waterfalls along the Petrohué river that were formed by basaltic lava from Volcano Osorno.
The rocks are seemingly perfect, rounded and polished. This is caused by lahars, a volcanic mudflow of sand and silt that is carried downstream when the volcano is more active.
It was a bit drizzly at first but it didn't keep us from enjoying the spectacle.
I fell in love with the incredible flora of the damp forest.
So those were the saltos. Next we headed to Volcan Osorno. Stay tuned!
Great Pictures! That was a beautiful place.
