Salto La Leona, Natural waterfall in Molina, Chile
Salto La Leona is a waterfall in Molina where water flows through narrow channels between large boulders and creates multiple cascades. The water drops over several levels, forming a series of smaller and larger falls that together make up the entire waterfall system.
The waterfall formed over centuries as flowing water continuously shaped the rock formation. This natural process transformed the landscape of the Molina region and created the waterfall system we see today.
Local residents maintain traditions of gathering near the waterfall during summer months to share stories and celebrate community events.
The waterfall is accessible daily, but sturdy footwear is important since paths along wet rocks can become slippery. Visitors should take their time and plan enough hours to explore the different levels of the waterfall system safely and at their own pace.
Underground mineral deposits create varying water colors throughout different sections of the falls, changing with seasonal water levels.
