Audio Guide of Quequén River Waterfalls

The waterfalls are open year-round, 24 hours a day, as they are a public natural area with no fixed restrictions, though visiting during daylight is recommended for safety. To get there, take Provincial Route 226 from Necochea south for about 15 km to the parking area; access is free and there are signposts. Check the official Necochea Tourism website for updates.

Visiting the Quequén River Waterfalls is completely free, as this is a public nature reserve managed by Buenos Aires Province. No tickets or advance reservations are required; just respect the conservation rules. For more information, visit the Quequén tourism portal.

It is recommended to allow at least 1 to 2 hours to explore the waterfalls, walk the trails, and enjoy the river and sea views. If you include a picnic or photography, it could stretch into half a morning. It is ideal for a short and relaxing visit.

The Quequén River Waterfalls are a unique natural phenomenon where the Quequén Grande River forms drops of up to 25 meters before reaching the Atlantic, highlighting coastal erosion in southern Buenos Aires Province. They have ecological value due to their biodiversity and are a protected site for wetland conservation. Their formation dates back to ancient geological processes, attracting visitors interested in Argentina’s natural heritage.

The best season is summer (December to March), when the weather is warm and the waterfalls flow more strongly; winter is best avoided because of strong winds. During the day, sunset offers spectacular views as the sun drops over the ocean. Check forecasts on the AccuWeather page for Necochea.

The main access is via dirt paths and natural steps, so it is not fully wheelchair accessible; however, there is an initial lookout that can be reached with assistance. Contacting local guides for adapted options is recommended. For more details, call Necochea Tourism at +54 259 443-0000.
