    Then, you will drive to Yunqueras to do another short trail surrounded by pine and eucalyptus trees.

    Open Details
    The path to the Charco de la Virgen is linear and takes about an hour and a half (out and back), depending on how many times you stop to take photos or how long you stay at the charco. It is ideal to do with children. There are only a few narrow parts of the path, but it is easy.
    The path to Las Cascadas includes the Salto de la Rejía and the Salto de Los Horcajuelos waterfalls. It is a linear route that takes between two and a half and three hours (out and back). Once you have visited the Charco de la Virgen you have to retrace your steps and look for the sign indicating the waterfalls trail. In this case the path is more difficult and there are steeper slopes, so it is better not to do it with small children. On the park's official website you can see a map and download one in pdf.
    If you are only going to do the Charco de la Virgen trail, you can stay longer at the hotel, enjoying the swimming pool.
