Is there a public trail to it?

Not to the water itself. The waterfall sits inside the gated estate, and none of the Ayuntamiento's marked routes across this face of Sierra Blanca ends there. The nearest is PR-A 428, Nagüeles to Los Monjes: a 6.3 km one-way route, rated medium-low difficulty, that starts at the trailhead panel in Pinar de Nagüeles and climbs past the old Mina de Buenavista lead workings before crossing the Puerto de los Pilones and Puerto de los Mochileros passes. At the Cañada de la Rana junction beyond them, a signed branch turns south to the Urbanización Cascada de Camoján rather than continuing over the Puerto de Camoján pass, a lookout the Ayuntamiento's own map credits with views over most of the coast, toward the ruined Ermita de los Monjes and, further on, Los Monjes and Ojén. The same junction and branch are named on the Marbella-Ojén stage of the GR-249 Gran Senda de Málaga, a longer-distance route that crosses the same ground on its way between the two towns. Sierra Blanca itself carries EU protection as a Lugar de Interés Comunitario, code ES6170011, part of the Natura 2000 network. None of the Ayuntamiento's route notes puts a public path at the waterfall's own coordinates, checked 5 September 2026.
