Salto Grande, Waterfall viewpoint in Torres del Paine National Park, Chile
The waterfall emerges from Lake Nordenskjöld and flows through a narrow passage, creating a 15-meter cascade of powder-blue glacial water into Lake Pehoé.
The waterfall marks the natural boundary between Lake Nordenskjöld and the Paine River, serving as a geographical marker for generations of local inhabitants.
Salto Grande represents a central point for nature photographers and hikers who gather to document the wild landscapes of Patagonian Chile.
The waterfall observation point can be reached via a 1.4-kilometer round-trip trail from the parking lot, taking approximately 30 minutes to complete.
The force of the falling water creates ground vibrations that can be felt from the viewing platform, while winds carry the mist across the surrounding area.
