Waterflow
Introduction[edit]
A beautiful ladder of crystal waterfalls dropping one after the other in the Andes Mountains close to the town of Jardin, a 3 hour drive from Medellin. If waterfall rappelling, in the flow, is your jam then this one is for you. No slides or jumps, but minimal creek walking, a couple downclimbs and nearly all of the dozen or more waterfalls are rigged for getting in the flow. Rock is surprisingly grippy. Many other canyoning routes are nearby Jardin, making this a great destination for a week of canyons and other nature activities.
Approach[edit]
Descent[edit]
Exit[edit]
Red tape[edit]
The approach requires crossing private property and permission must be obtained from the owner. Aventura de Jardin, a guide company has permission and may grant a good deal to canyoneers who bring their own gear and especially to those who gift needed gear like s.s. Maillions, 25kN carabiners, 9mm rope, etc.
