From the ranger booth, walk about 600 m on the vehicle road, upon reaching the camping area, take the Sendero del Andinista (Path of the Mountaineer) for about 5 minutes where you will see Sendero Los Peumos (Path Los Peumos). This is the path you will take. It goes through a leafy and humid native forest [[:File:Sendero_Los_Peumos.jpg|(see photo)]]. The path ascends moderately. After 35 minutes of having taken Path Los Peumos, again cross the vehicle road. From here on the vegetation is not as exuberant.

Follow the route on two curves, where another fork will be reached. The secondary path, after some 500m will take you to abandoned installations of an old mine. Take the main path. To avoid walking on the vehicle road, after the fork, take a path that goes parallel to the route but slightly more to the east (east). After 300 m these separate. The path begins to gain height following the edge of a hill in direction to the west, after ascending for 45 minutes, in some areas with a significant slope, you reach the pass [[:File:Portezuelo.jpg|(see photo)]]. Here you will have a spectacular view of the valley of Ocoa, with plenty of Chilean Palms (''Jubaea chilensis''), and somewhat arid. The contrast with the valleys Cajón Grande and Granizo to the south is quite strong. These have a very different vegetation and significantly more exuberant.

After enjoying the beautiful panoramic view the descent begins. The path is clear, with almost no possibilities for getting lost. It abruptly descends for 30 minutes until it reaches the valley where the slope decreases considerably making the trek more pleasant and expedite. The descent begins with a path that goes between palms on the west side of the east hills of the valley. When reaching the last hill, the direction switches Northeast, after 10 more minutes you will find the min road to the Ocea sector. From the pass to the Casino sector it is 1,5 hours of walking (5 km). Take the road in a north direction to go to the ranger booth, the end of this trek. If you still have the energy to keep walking, if you take the path to the south you may visit a beautiful waterfall and a quartz mine (for more information on this trek: [[P.N. La Campana, Ocoa]]).
