WaterflowIntroduction
The following description was translated from UnoDeAventuras.com by Google Translate:
The Mayu tick cannon is a long and physically demanding ravine. Constant block chaos with numerous derepes. First part avoidable by a path to the right of the river to the first rappel. At this point we can choose between continuing the river with numerous blocks and derepes or continuing along the path also avoiding this second part; In this way we will access the most embedded and interesting part; Before R-3. The last part is a great gorge; really impressive; with immense blocks and with some jump and slide. You can read a very detailed description of the Mayu tick cannon exploration in Víctor Sánchez's blog.
