Salto Grande (Torres del Paine)
Torres del Paine · Magallanes · Chile
Mirador Salto Grande, Torres del Paine
After parking the car, it’s about a 30-minute walk to reach the viewpoint. Along the way, you can stop at a small lakeside hut for lunch, and you might even run into hikers returning by boat after finishing their trek. The wind gets pretty strong as you get closer to the waterfall. The main waterfall itself is impressive, and when the sun comes out, the photos turn out amazing.
The infamous Patagonian wind in Torres del Paine is something you’ll never forget. Even if you think you’re prepared, it’s hard to imagine what it’s really like until you experience it yourself.
