Comments: Rewrote much of the beta to explain a much nicer approach (no bushwhacking) that our local guides took us on. It avoids having to pay for anything - however I suspect if you did you could make use of some waterfall trails for an quicker exit.
The described route involves quite a lot of creek walking on slippery rocks, in low visibility water - which can make for slow progress.
R1 was fun if you got under the rooster tail. R2 takes you down a funnel ending with quite a pummeling, R3 is nothing particularly special.

Comment: This canyon is amazing! Though it only has three rappels, #1 and #2 are really fun. #3 is more mundane. The creek itself is beautiful and you see the water change from orange to white as different tributaries join in. A vey worthy half day canyon close to Bajos del Toro.

Comment: Exploration. Heinous bushwhack that would turn around most parties. Hence the 3 rating.
