Here you'll find details about getting to Toma de Quintero.

Access to this place shares the first part with trail to Quebrada Quintero, either you use high path or low path. So, this description start at that Quebrada.


Quebrada Quintero main fallStarting the trip from the main fall of Quebrada Quintero, you have to walk eastwards (to Pajaritos).

To do so, cross the creek and take the ascending trail with a big rock in the middle and wood handrail.

Hill east of Quebrada QuinteroThis trail is very step in some places, and climbs in zigzag the hill at east of Quebrada Quintero, shown at right. The key is to get to top, specifically to high tension tower up and right (click on photo to get a bigger image).

Loma Serrano seen from road to PajaritosFrom this area you can see Loma Serrano, with its ascending track to Sabas Nieves. Few feet remains to top.

Just before getting to bifurcation you'll see at right, about 5 feet from track, a small column of concrete that formerly supported a water pipe coming down from Toma de Quintero ("Toma" means "place where water is taken from").
