Cascada del Nant y Fall, Natural waterfalls in Futaleufú Department, Argentina.
Cascada del Nant y Fall is a protected area featuring seven cascading waterfalls, including La Petisa, Las Mellizas, and El Salto Grande reaching approximately 67 meters in height, spread across about 250 hectares. The site connects multiple viewing platforms through walking paths that showcase the falls within their natural setting.
The protected area was established in 1994 under Law 4050, forming a partnership between private landowners and provincial conservation authorities. This agreement enabled the preservation of the site as a key natural conservation location in the region.
The name blends the Welsh word 'Nant' meaning stream with the English 'Fall', reflecting the Welsh settlement heritage that shaped the Chubut region. This linguistic mix shows how different communities left their mark on the landscape and its names.
The area lies about 20 kilometers from Trevelin and is accessible via a roughly 400-meter walking trail. The paths connect multiple viewing spots, allowing visitors to explore the falls at their own pace.
The waterfalls form a natural drainage system from Lake Rosario down to the Futaleufú River, creating multiple water drops through the Andean landscape. This hydrological arrangement produces a rare series of cascades shaped by the terrain.
