Cascada Invertida

Cascada Invertida is a striking natural phenomenon located in the comuna of San Clemente, Maule Region, along the route toward the Paso Internacional Pehuenche (Ruta CH-115).

Fed by Estero Aguirre, the waterfall drops more than 50 meters through a valley near the Valle de los Cóndores.

Strong westerly winds that funnel through the valley can reverse the water's downward flow, sending it upward and defying the expected pull of gravity — the effect that gives the falls their name.

The phenomenon is not constant; it depends on wind conditions at any given moment, and visitors may wait some time before witnessing it. The surrounding area also features basalt rock walls and additional cascades, including the nearby Salto del Maule.

Sernatur has recognized Cascada Invertida as a Zona de Interés Turístico (ZOIT), and it draws visitors year-round, though the access road can be closed during heavy winter snowfall at higher elevations.
