The access path is a bit chaotic in the streambed, pick the most unpleasant option there that starts the climb. The canyon itself is pretty, except for the long walking sections in the debris.

I added the lower part after the Superiore. It has a few nice sections but not as great as the upper part. Shortly before the exit there is a long walking passage.

Automatisch importiert von Descente-Canyon.com für Canyon Seixal (inférieur) Chouette canyon, 3eme fois pour moi. Pas d'éboulement plus que ça, la fin à pied passe bien et presente un dernier encaissement joli. J'ai sauté le frac bien arrosé dans la grande cascade de 40. Aucun soucis. Le départ est juste après le tunnel. Pour trouver le départ de la montée, il suffit de traverser la rivière quand le chemin nous y amène.
