Salto Grande Salto Grande is definitely the prime waterfall attraction in Torres del Paine National Park. While its height is not overwhelming (it's probably about 15m tall or so), it's got incredible power as it drains the Lago Nordenskjöld and feeds Lago Pehoé. In one of the easier hikes within the largely de-centralized park, you view the falls from afar or get close near its brink (just be careful not to get swept into the raging torrent!). If the weather is good, you can extend the 30-minute return hike into a 2-hour return hike by walking north towards the Mirador de Los Cuernos at the shores of Lago Nordenskjöld where you get dramatic views of the horns of Paine rise sharply above the lake. Tell us about your experience with this waterfall.
