If you've already done some rappelling and water-based activities, this option is perfect for a unique experience. The activity takes place in the Potrero Redondo ejido (communal land) in the municipality of Santiago, Nuevo León, where you'll enjoy the wonders of nature and its formations in the canyon. This adventure includes trekking, swimming with a life jacket, and rappelling. On this tour, you'll enjoy turquoise-colored pools, natural waterslides, cliff jumps, and 7 rappels of 10, 30, 35, 48, 30, 45, and 50 meters, some down waterfalls that will give you an amazing experience. Our adventure starts at the Hotel Cola de Caballo, which will be our meeting point. From there, we'll take an off-road vehicle. We'll travel for an hour and a half along a dirt road through the mountains until we reach the Potrero Redondo ejido (communal land) to have a light breakfast and start getting everyone ready with their necessary gear to enjoy this adventure. Then, the hike begins. We'll walk for thirty minutes among pine trees and green areas that will stay etched in your memory forever. Once this hike through the canyon is over, we'll arrive at the top of the first 10-meter rappel to warm up, with an adventure of 4 more rappels to come. From here, there are more rappels, pools, natural slides, and fun, with time to rest a bit and have a snack. Your sixth and seventh rappels are the ones that will leave you with an unforgettable experience, as they are done right next to a 110-meter waterfall. On the last one, you'll end up in a large turquoise pool between tall walls in the mountains. To finish, and no less challenging, there's an uphill hike of about an hour to finally conclude your adventure in the canyon. Once finished, you'll reach the vehicle area to put on your dry and comfortable clothes and enjoy a well-deserved meal with delicious local flavors. A 1.5-hour drive awaits to take you back to Hotel Cola de Caballo, our meeting point.
