Itinerary description

The best hike to as far as you can go in the stunning Mismaloya river. Multiple pools and waterfalls of pristine pure water. Humongous granite boulders all over. Hundreds of different butterflies, many endemic to this canyon.
Beware! The hike can be dangerous in rainy season for rush floods.
This one was in dry season.
In El Eden restaurant say that you just want to pass up to the river otherwise they charge to stay in the part that they take to the river. Enjoy!
