Drive Dance Drop

Those three words describe quite well the activities of Rodrigo, Ian, and myself on the 25th and 26th of February. Late in the afternoon of the 25th we worked up the motivation to make the drive from Pucon to Salto del Nilahue. After the strenuous drive we found a spot on the side of the dirt road and deemed it close enough to the waterfall and fit for our beds for the night. We got comfortable and maybe even fell asleep, then there were some bright lights,a loud truck with some loud Chilenos and the rest of the night is a blur. They took us to a disco until about 5 in the morning then dropped us off at our tents and wished us luck for Nilahue in few hours. None of us slept well, and awoke soon after first light then were off to the waterfall. Once there, we scouted, set up cameras and dropped in. We were all off the water by 11 a.m. and ready to get back to Pucon for some rest.
Salto del Nilahue was an amazing drop. Check the photos.
