WaterflowIntroduction[edit]
The following description was translated from UnoDeAventuras.com by Google Translate:
The San Juan Quebrada is another of the most recommended Ecuador guns and; specific; from the Bucay-Humandá area. We can say that it is divided into three different parts. The first we descend by a tributary with short and arrampados rappels; In a wooded area. There we will reach the main channel of the San Juan creek; where we find paths on both sides for possible escapes or accesses. From here the channel is narrowed and we descend near a dozen waterfalls in a fairly clean gorga of vegetation; which shows the strong floods that the channel can accuse in the rainy season. Here the rappels are under waterfall and the strata of the shales show curious forms. After this interesting part we find a path that crosses the channel of the ravine and that marks the beginning of the third part. In this last section we descend two beautiful calcareous toba waterfalls in which even curious travertine cavities are formed by which water drips. After two other rappels in the block area we arrive at the road and the end of the descent.
