Paine Waterfall
Cascada del Paine
A wide waterfall where the Paine River tumbles down in the northeast of the park, with the Torres and Paine mountains in the distance. It can be viewed right from the roadside.
Cascada del Paine lies in the northeastern part of the park, beside the road from Laguna Amarga to Laguna Azul. Here the Paine River drops over a wide stepped cascade of deep blue water, with the Torres and the Paine mountains visible in the distance. A roadside lookout is just a few minutes' walk from where you park, and it's a standard stop on the park loop drive. Guanacos often graze on the nearby grasslands, and occasional puma sightings have been reported, so keep watch when you get out of the car.
