Felix Lozano, the mayor of Pizarra, said the parents raised the alarm after "they lost sight of the daughter for two minutes".
The little girl’s body was eventually discovered at 7am this morning lying lifeless alongside a railway track some seven kilometres from the restaurant.
A train driver spotted what he thought could be a body and stopped the train to alert authorities, according to a report in the local Diario Sur.
The Civil Guard have opened an investigation into the circumstances of her death.
