Full route of pleasing surprises, first when arriving at the highest point one hour after we started the long walk to give a precious view of the complete valley and surrounding mountains; located to the distant spot we see for the last time the starting point. 5 rappels on water falls, and increasing high up to 40 meters, makes this canyon very interesting. The first descent was done by us the 4th of September 2005.
This is a canyoning adventure far from civilization.
