Introduction

18 rappels in only 1000ft horizontal, this is a narrow and steep canyon. We descended this in the 2023 int'l rendezvous, but the water was little more than a trickle. Edu said that in 2019 there was a healthy flow and the canyon experience was much better. A short exit down to a public swimming pool, with vendors selling food.

Approach

Follow the well established trail contouring the hillsides for about 30 min to a concrete water storage pool supplying water to the community below. Descend here.

Exit

From the final (and largest) rappel, hike up the obvious trail on DCR for about a minute to an abandoned concrete camping lodge. Then drop back down to a public swimming pool at the end of Dos Sasas.

Red tape

Permission required to descend. Please see Coroico region page for more information.

Background

Canyon is named after Edu Gomez and Edu Gomez Junior, the father/son team from Spain who opened many of the routes in this area.
