Waterfalls of Chile

Glacial streak cascades beneath the imposing Torres del Paine, the signature attraction of Chile


Chile waterfalls aren't what most people think of when they think of the country, but given that it's sandwiched between the rainy side of the Andes Mountains and the Pacific Ocean, it shouldn't be at all surprising that it harbors some impressive waterfalls. Of course the obvious natural claims to fame of the country include Torres del Paine National Park (which sits in the Chilean Patagonia littered with glaciers and jagged trademark pinnacled peaks) and Easter Island (which is a South Pacific Island most known for mysterious Moa Statues).

Our experiences in Chile are primarily limited to Patagonia, but even so, there were some impressive waterfalls that we saw even within this superlative sactuary of nature. We anticipate future trips to Chile in hopes of seeing other impressive waterfalls such as Salto del Laja.
