WaterflowIntroduction
This canyon is a nice easy low-water experience (you can stay dry until the confluence with Río Guayab. After this there are several deep pools that require swimming). Not the best in the area, but it does have two really nice rappels. It is next door to Jerry Canyon, and uses the same exit.
Approach
It is an easy downhill walk through private land/cow pasture. Mind the electric cattle fences.
Descent
There are two rappels in this canyon.
R1: 30m
R2: 55m This is a super cool rappel, don't get hung up on any trees on the way down.
The remainder of the canyon consists of several downclimbs and swims.
Exit
Exit at a little dirt road 100 feet from the main road below where you left your vehicles. There is a little pool here where you can do some jumps.
