WaterflowIntroduction[edit]
Rio Uerc is a creek at the south face of Monte Pisimone. It is a very wild canyon. The best time to go to the canyon is one day after the heavy rain, when other canyons are impossible to go through due to high waterlevel (it is interesting to go through only if you see the big waterfall from the main road in Ressuita. The highest waterfall is 110m high. Some rappeling points are hard to find and to reach. It is recomended to carry some pieces of cutting rope with you.
