Introduction[edit]
There is a landfill at the top of this drainage so the canyon is strewn with trash and the water is no doubt toxic with plastics, paint, ink, etc. leaching off of the garbage. Canyoneers continually collect bags of garbage but it is impossible to pick out all of the little pieces wrapped around tree branches and in little pockets in the rocks. Be careful not to drink any water and wash off immediately after exiting for your health. The final rappel into the sea is what makes this canyon route one of the most popular and memorable in Flores. One nice, vertical slide about 20 feet. Most of the pools were too shallow to jump, but there were a couple small jump opportunities. This canyon is rated X because you need a boat pick up in the sea or it is a very long swim and you could get carried out to sea by the current.
