More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You clip in at the rim, hear water striking rock below, and push off into a vertical ribbon of mist. The rope steers you down icy spray; leaves and orchids cling to the canyon walls as guides call instructions over the rush of the waterfall. This is El Valle de Antón by rope—an all-day descent through a tropical caldera where waterfalls carve steps out of volcanic rock.
