Summary:
Deep and narrow canyon in the first part - afterwards more open - no escapes.
August - November
East
Summary:
Deep and narrow canyon in the first part - afterwards more open - no escapes.
Access:
The road to reach the canyon is gravel road. A lot of gravel. Good to have 4x4 whell drive. But is doable also without, just go slowly.
Approach (1 h):
Follow the hiking path from the parking river right up to 1740m and go into the river. Follow the river and you will reach the canyon.
Tour (3 h):
First 6 waterfalls are inside the deep and narrow part. After that the canyon opens, but still no escapes. Be carfefull on a 50m waterfall, since you abseil in the water course and there can be some falling rocks when you abseil. Last waterfall you can do as a double or triple pitch (anchors on the right - second anchor hard to reach). 2x60m ropes needed
Return (5 min):
From the canyon just follow the river bed to the car.

All anchor points were in good shape. Water level was perfect. The big waterfall you abseil in the water course, its a little bit hard to abseil in water course. Also be careful beacuse during the abseil the rocks were falling. I got one on my hand, the other guide on his knee. Maybe clean the watefall before start abseiling.
