Access to the starting point is via the forest track that begins one kilometer before reaching the San Pedro Bridge, descending from the village of Zaorejas. Then, continue another kilometer along the dirt road to the bend where the Escaleruela waterfall is located, right in the environmental area of the Alto Tajo Natural Park. The best time to visit the waterfall is in spring due to the high water level, the streams are full of water, and the humidity keeps the natural ecosystems at their most vibrant. The route climbs to the right of the waterfall, following a trail marked with milestones for a variant of the GR-113 Tajo Natural Path toward the mountain village of Zaorejas through the Ciño Negro ravine. The main route follows the forest track between Poveda de la Sierra and Villar de Cobeta. The path is carved into the tuff edifice that forms the waterfall block; it has passageways and alleys created by rainwater dissolving the calcium carbonate in the rocks. The path is beautiful; at the top of the tuffaceous block, another waterfall appears over the steps of the path and offers spectacular views of the Ciño Negro towers.
