Introduction
Big canyon that has high walls and a strong waterflow, even with the water captures above.
Approach
Right after the village, two waterflows are comming together. Just about 200m after that, the canyon starts.
Descent
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
After the last abseils and downclimbs, follow the riverbed for half a kilometer until you get out on the right hand side.
