Introduction[edit]
AS OF DEC. 2018 THERE ARE NO PERMANENT ANCHORS. ANYONE ATTEMPTING TO DESCEND THIS CANYON IS ADVISED TO BRING A HAMMER DRILL AND BE PREPARED TO BOLT NEW ANCHORS AT ALL OF THE DROPS. The anchors placed for the first descent in 2016 are very rusty and are displaying a variety of other safety issues. There are scant natural anchor options in the commitment zone.
Bonito cañon, sobre todo la parte final.
The following description was translated from UnoDeAventuras.com by Google Translate:
The Salitre ravine (or ravine the cape) is an interesting descent in the area. It is a cannon with a jungle environment and a generous water flow. Crowd of medium length (less than 40 meters) rappels that happen without rest until they reach a gorgin narrow and dark. The rappels in it are for the water; so we must previously evaluate the flow and avoid storms so as not to pass trouble. When leaving this Gorga the descent ends; with a water conduction; being able to choose to descend the last waterfall or avoid it by a path to the right.
Approach[edit]
The ascent up 1400’ over 2 miles is on a well worn horse trail. Other than being muddy, it is easy going. The drop in from the abandoned farm house at the top out point to the creek 300 feet below is some of the finest (read hardest) bush wacking in the world and makes New Zealand or Hawaii bush wacking tame in comparison.
Descent[edit]
Exit[edit]
Red tape[edit]
Unknown. The activity of the descent of cannons is not regulated.
