DESCRIPTION
It is an ideal trail to do with small children as it is very easy and short.
The trailhead is very well marked very close to the Park Rangers Office. The trail is wide and pretty flat following the Pescadero creek. It is a self-guided trail with interesting information about the Patagonian Andean forest and its natural development.
Pay attention to the signs and stay on the trail. Also be aware of roots, rocks or branches which may make you trip. Watch out for a bike trail that crosses close to the start of the trail.
Further up the trail you will reach a fork, the left goes to a lookout, to Playa Muñoz and to the Emilio Frey Hut, take to the right and after crossing a bridge you will reach the waterfall.
Follow the same trail back following the signs.
