The lower Micos is a gem of a run here in the Huasteca region of Mexico. It is often overlooked, much like the Lower gauley, because of the 7 waterfalls upstream.
The run is an amazing class 2-3 section with about 25 rapids. Since river SUP came on the scene, it has given us a new means to enjoy these easy sections of river.
There is a very nice hole about half way through the run. it is a class 3 hydraulic with an island next to it.
You can run this drop multiple times. right now with high levels it takes 1.5 hours to finish the run.
we are using the RapidFire SUP by Imagine Eco. And the Traverse by WWW.EMOTIONKAYAKS.COM
If you are in Mexico and have the urge to SUP, come find us at www.kayakhuasteca.com We’ll be here keepin the stoke!

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.
