Agua Blanca de Iturbide, Hidalgo
Boca de Salto packs about fifteen rappels into two sections, including a 220 foot final drop, through dark rock formations laced with greenery. The approach is an easy roadside walk, but the exit demands real bushwhacking back up out of the gorge.
The descent splits into two named sections separated by a slippery log jam below the fifth rappel of the first. One bolt on the second section's second rappel is missing its hanger, so check gear before committing. The exit is the crux: downclimb the watercourse roughly 250 feet below the final rappel, then scramble up about 500 feet of hillside on a bearing between east and southeast to reach the road. No red tape is documented on the page.

- nearest town: inferred: this dataset's chiflon-integral record names Agua Blanca de Iturbide as the staging town for Monroy, San Martin, Camino Real, Boca de Santo/Salto, and Chifloncito. Note: RopeWiki's own page title resolves to Boca del Salto, not Boca de Salto; likely the same canyon under a slightly different name, flagged for human review.
