Rafting the Rio Micos.

The waterfalls of the Micos river don’t get run in a raft.  We decided it would be a good test run.  We picked some durable people and sent them on their way.  Patrick, Claudia and Sarah gave it a go.   This video is the result.

100 Degrees in the Shade…and 80 Degrees in the Water.

The Micos section of the Rio Valles is our local training ground.  When it gets hot we go there to cool off.  The benefits are 7 of the most beautiful waterfalls I’ve ever seen.

This is a shot of the right side of the falls we call Serpiente.

Nice slide lead in and then a 10 footer out of the pool.

When the water levels are right the lines are plentiful and big.

This is the left side of the big waterfall.  We call it the “cara”.

This is the left side.  It’s nice right now because the dropcomes at you fast, and the landing is super soft.

This is the last falls on the section.  It has 4 different lines.  This end boof is preceded by some huge lateral waves, a bouncy slide and the possiblity of running Bad Boy Falls.

So far the water levels are great.  With more rain we will have a longer season.  I’ll be posting more on water levels in the next few weeks.
