Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews

Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.

When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.

Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Para recargar pilas, absorbiendo puro oxígeno y deleitarse con la maravilla del paisaje.

Feb 2023 • Family

Un lugar maravilloso. En este momento la entrada tiene un cobro por persona de 3.000 que te permite acceder al salto, a baños y a estacionamiento. Es un lugar muy concurrido sobretodo los fines de semana . La bajada al salto tiene su complejidad por lo que hay que llevar alguna zapatilla con adherencia y tb unas chalas de río por las piedras. El lugar tb tiene para realizar camping 9.000 pp y algúnos sectores con mesa, banca y quincho para preparar comidas, asados, etc (son pocos).
Recomiendo llevar sillas porque las piedras abundan y es difícil echarse y dormir.

Bonito lugar

Feb 2020 • Friends

Lindo lugar. El agua es algo fría pero en el transcurso del día va mejorando. Agua color turquesa. Se paga 3000 por vehículo. Caminas 10 minutos para llegar a la cascada.

Visita en primavera

Oct 2020 • Couples

Es lugar hermoso muy cerca de Santiago. Es necesario pagar 3.000 clp de entrada. En cuanto a comida, hay mesas para hacer pícnics o asados. El cafetín tiene empanadas a 2.000 clp —algo caro en comparación con Santiago, pero me parece normal en los lugares retirados—. Las de pino son muy ricas y las sirven calientitas.

A pesar de estar en primavera, como el día estuvo nublado, hacía mucho frío y viento, así que les recomiendo llevar parka o un buen par de capas de ropa.

Para llegar a la base del salto hay que desviarse un poco del camino delimitado y hay muchas piedras sueltas y arena suave, así que lleven botas o zapatos deportivos con buen agarre para no resbalarse.

Bom para conhecer

Apr 2023

Alguns pontos.
O lugar é bonito? sim, é lindo, fomos de madrugada e vimos o nascer do sol.
Após sair de Santiago na excursão de van, fomos ate a represa Embalse Del Yeso, pois lá existe um ponto aonde ficam as vans.
Depois disso segue-se a pé 900 metros subindo pelo caminho Del Yeso, chegando ate numa curva aonde se tem uma vista magnifica do lago.
Fomos até ai.
Fica-se la uns 40 minutos, talvez um pouco mais, ai volta e eles levam para fazer um pic nic, é isso basicamente nesse passeio de van.
Acho que vale ressaltar que o horário que se vai, se for as primeiras horas da manhã, se deveria avisar do frio que se faz.
Basicamente, não espere conforto, é tudo meio no improviso.
Vale conhecer, mas particularmente não volto

El ingreso al salto del yeso debería haber senderos, ya que toda los visitantes bajaban por lugares que decía peligro y la mayoría va a bañarse a las cascada. Deberían hacer mejoras.
La entrada vale 3 mil por persona.

Bom local para o almoço ao ar livre.

Jan 2020

Na real, a única atração é uma pequena (e bela cascata) no Yeso. Porém o pessoal preparou uma estrutura para que o pessoal que retorna do passeio à represa, possa ir ao banheiro, fazer um piquenique e descansar um pouco antes de voltar para Santiago. Interesante.
