Itinerary description
One of the best scenery canyons.. Full of greenery and water during the rainy season.
I consider it moderate but it could be considered difficult for most people since there is a lot of climbing and walking on the edge in a part of it which is worth it cuz the views after that are amazing.
We did not go all the way to the village we reached the wall that will lead us to it but this was an unplanned hike (as we were planning to go to a different location but it was closed) so we did not prepare the trail and since there is no phone signal the whole time we did not want to risk it and continue ahead.
Reaching to the starting point requires a 4x4 definitely although you might see sedans reaching very close to the area but it's not at all recommended since the car will definitely get scraped from down a lot.
Just remember taking plenty of water and some snacks cuz the hike requires enough energy to climb up and jump between the big boulders the whole time.
