Cascada de las Ánimas

Cascada de las Ánimas is a nature sanctuary in the Maipo Valley featuring mountainous terrain with valleys, natural springs, and cascading waterfalls throughout the landscape. The property offers multiple lodging choices including rustic lodges and riverside suites for visitors.

The Chilean government formally recognized this private property as a protected nature sanctuary in 1995. The official designation was made to preserve the ecological value of the land for future generations.

The sanctuary serves as a nature education hub where people from Santiago and nearby towns experience the mountains through guided walks and outdoor activities. Visitors come here to connect with the natural environment in a structured way.

The site is accessible by foot via marked trails suitable for different ability levels. Visitors should bring sturdy footwear and weatherproof clothing as mountain terrain can be challenging and conditions change quickly.

The sanctuary features ropes courses, canopy tours, and whitewater activities along the Maipo River set against the Andes backdrop. These adventure experiences attract visitors seeking outdoor thrills beyond typical nature walks.
