Go up and the descend Cuesta de la Dormida until reaching a fork to Olmue; here take Avenida Granizo on a northeast direction until you reach a dirt road where it is 2,4 km until the entrance of the park.

By public transport

Buses seem liable to change on a regular basis and even the most up to date guidebooks can be incorrect. At the time of writing (October 2009) Pullman bus do a regular service to Olmue from terminal Almeda with one leaving at 8:05 (6000 peso return), it takes roughly 2hrs. Get off the bus in the main square (a small grass square with a sign showing the way to the parks, but don't be tempted to walk from here it's still a long way). From here take a local Agrada bus (with plenty of character) on Av. Granizo (400 pesos) that show in the window that they are going to the park, it's only about 15-20 minutes. The bus will terminate at a turn around point. Here head further up the road and turn left up a dirt track that leads into the park.

Pullman buses return from a shop on Av. Granizo near the square. The return times are in the shop (nobody else will know them) and run until around 8:00pm. Check in at the shop on the way back to reserve a seat on the bus for the way home.
