Introduction[edit]
Big canyon that has high walls and a strong waterflow, even with the water captures above.
Approach[edit]
Right after the village, two waterflows are comming together. Just about 200m after that, the canyon starts.
Descent[edit]
The canyon is made of 2 Sections, but both are very aquatic. First one (Cresta Gronda) only has waterfalls up to 5m. The second part (Igl Crap) is more impressive and also includes a rappel of 22m.
Exit[edit]
After the last abseils and downclimbs, follow the riverbed for half a kilometer until you get out on the right hand side.
