El Calzoncillo Waterfall

El Calzoncillo waterfall drops from the northern cliffs of Lake Rupanco, forming a stream that flows directly into the lake's waters.

In 1858, explorer Guillermo Doll documented the waterfall from Vega del Rupanco, noting its thunderous sound that could be heard from far away.

Local inhabitants maintain careful measurements of the waterfall's flow, which varies between 0.1 and 4.2 cubic meters per second throughout the year.

Visitors can access the waterfall through two routes: by renting a boat for the lower view or by reaching a private property for the upper perspective.

The waterfall received its name from its natural resemblance to long underwear, with three distinct sections representing different parts of the garment.
