Nice tour with quite pleasant water temperature. Stands all ok. Super final waterfall (Waterfall of Love) which leads into the Osumi River. Check the water level here. On our ascent it was low, so you could easily float or walk to the exit point. Combined with Bigasit, a great day of canyoning!

Short but very beautiful. The arrival between the massive walls of the osumi river and the short passage to the exit are well worth it. Water level in the osumi river is low.
