After a two hour hike or horseback trek following the river participants arrive at the high waterfalls.

Above, some participants set off upstream looking for the perfect spot to swim. Just a little further upstream they come upon a formation known as The Cathedral - a long deep channel between vertical cliffs that visitors must swim through, against the current, to reach a waterfall.

Several of our February 2000 retreat participants decided to take one of the more challenging trails to a nearby valley. If they were looking for a challenging ride they were not disappointed, and all returned with tales of adventure. Below are pictures from their final destination.
