Salto grande Peohe

The viewpoint sits right where water from Lake Nordenskjöld tumbles down about fifty feet (fifteen meters) into Lake Pehoé, creating a roar that fills the air with a fresh, wild energy.

Explorers like Florence Dixie traveled through this region in the late eighteen hundreds, writing about the raw beauty of these lands and the power of the waterfalls they encountered along the way.

Visitors come here to pause and take in the scenery, often sitting quietly on the rocks or snapping photos while the wind carries the mist from the rushing water across their faces.

A short walk from the parking area brings you right to the edge, making this one of the easier stops in the park to reach without needing much time or effort.

The water seems to hang in the air for a moment before crashing down, and on sunny days, small rainbows flicker in the spray, adding a touch of color to the scene.
