In the southern sector, there are well demarcated circuits, parking areas, services, etc. Part of the route is along eucalyptus forests, partly on bushes and scattered bushes, and part on attractive native forest. In some areas of southern exposure the vegetation is surprisingly leafy for that latitude, and very attractive. The dominant species are Belloto del Norte ('' B. Miersii '') and Olivillo ('' Aetoxicum Punctatum '') plus the typical species of [[glossary # E | sclerophyllous forest]] of the central zone, such as peumo, boldo , colliguay, liter, etc. The presence of a mirtacea stands out, '' Mirceugenia Correafolia ''. There are specimens of naranjillo, some of them huge. There is also a lot of quila.

[[File: broken profile of the tigerperfil quebrada del tigre.PNG | thumb | Profile of the trek through the Quebrada del Tigre (the "saw" on the upper part is somewhat exaggerated, and is the product of inaccuracies in the 3D model)]]
Pass under the wooden gate (km 0 - 54m). The start is somewhat confusing, but you can see a narrow path that goes towards Zapallar almost parallel to the road, at first with little slope. This section is very unattractive.
At km 4.8 (420m) you reach a wide area, under the shade of the forest. It is an excellent place to rest and to make pic-nic. It may take a while to pick up the trace after this point: aim not at the part above, but in the direction you were walking.
Follow the most attractive section of all, with denser forest. The walk continues without interruptions or bifurcations. You will pass by a wooden sign indicating "Quebrada del Tigre: private area", and then by some clearings. A fence will cross (km 6.0 - 427) and continue until km 6.3 (455m) point where the track begins its descent towards the South, entering a more dispersed vegetation area. If you have energy, you can continue and complete the [[Clear Water Crossing Travesía Aguas Claras - Quebrada del Tigre]] in the opposite direction, but for those looking for a shorter trip this point has been defined as the end of the Quebrada del Tigre route.
