Introduction

Pequenino is a dense, overgrown jungle canyon that is lush and green. It features numerous short rappels and a few jumps. Some sections were especially beautiful, with deeper pools.

Approach

From the village parking area, hike through town towards the river for 15-20 minutes. There is an old stone bridge, and you can suit up there before entering the water.

Exit

Pequenino ends at the beginning of Frades Inferior, and connecting them is highly recommended. Although this will extend the exit hike, so it would be best to have a car shuttle.
