Potrero Redondo, Nuevo Leon (Santiago municipality)
A fantastic canyon for those that like jumps, this canyon has countless jumps. The single rappel might also be bypassed, albeit with a very technical jump.
This is the natural continuation of Chipitin, usually run as a separate day since it needs no rope work of its own. Lifejackets are required and enforced by Proteccion Civil, mostly in high season, and with good reason: parties report over half a kilometer of swimming across dozens of deep pools. The optional 30 foot jump called the Cube clears some hidden rocks and is best scouted by downclimbing first. A local near the start may ask 60 pesos per person, and the exit follows an ATV track upstream from the confluence with Matacanes to reach the road at Las Adjuntas.
