The Macarone waterfall can be reached after going through two tunnels and passing a pointed rock on the bend. On the left you will find a path marked by a pile of stones and a wooden pole. On one of the small stones you will find the inscription: "waterfall". Continue along the path up to a fork. Turning left you can see the waterfall. To get down there is a rope just ahead. It is recommended not to do it while sitting as it is quite slippery. Paying attention and holding on to the trunks of the tree, from the left it is possible to hold the rope by walking backwards along the sloping section. Pay attention to the slippery sections to get in front of the waterfall.
