The Cascada de Los Alerces (waterfall) offers some variation of this excursion. Before crossing the bridge over Río Manso you go around Lake Los Moscos and Río Manso until you reach Lake Hess where the road ends after crossing the Roca River and you have to walk about 300 m. to get to a lookout point and admire the imposing Cascada de Los Alerces.
