Mirador Salto Grande — Attraction in Torres del Paine

Mirador Salto Grande is an absolute must-visit in Torres del Paine. The viewpoint offers breathtaking scenery where the powerful Salto Grande waterfall connects Lago Nordenskjöld and Lago Pehoé. The sound of rushing water, the turquoise lakes, and the dramatic mountain backdrop make it an unforgettable spot for photography and reflection.

The short trail to the mirador is easy and accessible, making it perfect for visitors of all ages. On clear days, you can enjoy stunning views of the Paine Massif, and even on windy or cloudy days, the raw beauty of nature here is awe-inspiring.

What I loved most was how the viewpoint captures both the energy of the waterfall and the peacefulness of the surrounding landscape. It’s a place that truly embodies the magic of Patagonia.

Highly recommended for anyone visiting Torres del Paine—don’t miss this...

The lower one also has a small restaurant with access to a toilet. You must buy tickets IN ADVANCE to the National Park, before you can visit it. Do it online or at your hotel / travel agent before you go to the park. Before entering it is necessary that the QR code on the ticket is scanned for “check in” at on of the entrances...
