Cascadas Micos
verified
Ungraded
Unknown flood risk
This is a great canyoneering route with nine waterfalls that can all be jumped. Hence, most people will prefer to leave technical gear in the car and enjoy the freedom of descending a canyon without ropes.
It is recommended to visit the big falls from the bottom and explore the multiple caves that hide behind its veil, they are very cool. After that the descent is pretty much the same: jump, jump, jump! Some waterfalls further down also have cave complexes behind them and it's very interesting to explore (ask your guide to show them to you).
