Huilo-Huilo Falls

Huilo-Huilo Falls plunge over volcanic rock formations along the Fuy River within a private nature reserve in the Los Ríos Region. The site combines the waterfall, river landscape, and surrounding native forest into one geological and natural system.

The falls were shaped by volcanic activity from the Mocho Choshuenco complex, which formed the region's geological landscape. Ancient lava flows and volcanic processes created the rock formations over which the water cascades today.

The falls exist within a private reserve that incorporates local community development and educational programs focused on environmental conservation.

A walking trail leads to the falls and takes about one hour to complete over uneven terrain. The path is accessible year-round but becomes slippery during rain and sturdy footwear is recommended.

During summer months the water flow noticeably decreases because portions travel through underground channels formed by ancient volcanic activity. This hidden system fundamentally shapes how the river behaves in this area.
