We were able to get right up to the brink of the waterfall in one of the easier hikes within the largely de-centralized Torres del Paine National Park. The walk was a pretty straight-forward walk from a well-defined car park. While it was cool to experience the power of the waterfall from up close, we definitely had to be careful not to get swept into the raging torrent!

We were also able to view the falls from afar along the main road through the park. However, I didn't recall there being a pullout to get this view. We basically slowed down to get a hasty roadside shot while no other car was around.

Had the weather been good and we had extra time (which we didn't), we could have extended 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 we could've gotten dramatic views of the horns of Paine rising sharply above the lake.
