Although Cochamó was only established in 1979, the area has seen human habitation going back to the pre-Hispanic times. Cochamó has waterfalls, rivers, caves, granite arches and cliffs that are hundreds of meters high. In recent years, it has become a popular ecotourism destination particularly with domestic tourists.

Cochamó is generally cold and rainy between May and August, so the best time to visit is during the warmer months, between October and April, with the months of September and May being particularly pleasant.
