Salto Capioví, Natural waterfall in Misiones Province, Argentina
Salto Capioví is a waterfall in Misiones Province featuring a drop of about 7 meters and a width of about 20 meters. The water collects in a natural pool where the deepest areas reach about 4 meters.
In the early 20th century, German settlers built a water wheel on the right bank of the creek to generate electricity for their settlement. This engineering project shows how early inhabitants made use of the natural resources at the site.
The name comes from the Guarani language and refers to fish species found in this region. Today, visitors gather here to swim in the natural pool and take in the view of the falling water.
Visit during dry weather when water levels are manageable and the surroundings remain easy to walk through. Various facilities on site including restaurants and grilling areas support longer stays.
After the main pool, the stream becomes remarkably shallow, with depths of only about 20 centimeters. This shallow section lets visitors of all ages safely wade through the water.
