This was another one of Iguana Mama Eco - Adventure Tours. They provide you with a shorty wetsuit, climbing harness and a helmet. I wore my NRS water shoes instead of sneakers, but made the mistake of not wearing a long sleeve rash guard. The tour starts with the "Magic Mushroom" section of the canyon and goes on to the "Bavarian Fighter" (18 meter/56 feet jump) and the "Big Bastard" (22 meters/70 feet jump). Abseiling/rappelling is an option for both of the high jumps.
Besides the two big ones there are a number of smaller jumps too. The natural surroundings are breath-taking and secluded, adding to the unique blend of tranquility and excitement. Narrow walls, technical stretches, high jumps, beautiful abseils in a lush landscape make this one of our most stunning tours. An intermediate 30 minute climb/hike brings you back to civilization. This tour is rated advanced, so some prior knowledge is required, and reasonable fitness and swimming skills.
This was planned as a group trip, but everyone else cancelled at the last minute, so this ended up being just me and the guide. Because it was just the two of us, we managed to complete what was a full day tour in about three hours. Unfortunately I have no photos from this trip due to the fact that I did not have a waterproof camera that can handle the abuse of this trip.
