Quebrada de López

Information

It is a ravine crossed by the Curtiembre River, located on the outskirts of San Francisco del Monte de Oro. The Curtiembre River is a typical mountain stream that originates in the Sierras de San Luis and flows down through the mountains, and along its course the water runs over rocks in the riverbed and forms part of the characteristic mountain scenery.

To get there from Plaza Pringles in the center of San Francisco del Monte de Oro, take Centenario Street and cross the bridge over the San Francisco River. Then continue for 1.5 km until you reach a fork in the road. Take the road to the left and continue for another 4.6 km until you reach the ravine.

Upon arrival, you will find a campground with camping spots, picnic areas, restrooms and concrete tables. The campground usually operates during the summer, between December and February (this should be confirmed). If you walk to the far end of the grounds, you can reach the river where an artificial wall creates what looks like a waterfall flowing into a large natural pool. The river lies in a natural setting surrounded by hills, ideal for those looking to get away from the noise of the town and enjoy a more unspoiled environment.
