Summary:
Main highlights are the high viaduct and the possibility to combine with rockclimbing (25m. max). Not the best bolting in the canyon and lots of vegetation. Short version is possible with one car, return via the camino real. Lower than this are 2 higher abseils and a long walk-out (machete recommended) and 2 cars + bigger ropes would be needed.
