Quebrada Quintero's main fallOn the other and, downstream you'll see another trail. This is the low path to Quebrada Quintero. That area has several small falls. If you've bring kids with you and they want to get down that trail, go with them. Don't let them alone because rocks are slippery, but also don't choke their eagerness to explore.

If you walk to the big fall, take note that in the back of its natural amphitheater exists a path ascending through rocks. That was the old path to get to top of fall, but this trail is now forbidden because it is too risky. If you want to get beyond fall, you should take another track.
