Barranco Foz de Fago Combinación
The Foz de Fago canyon is a short, aquatic descent with pools, jumps, and downclimbs. The approach is a mere 3 minutes, following a path parallel to the canyon before dropping into the bed. The descent features several rappels, including a 20m rappel (or 13m alternative) by a deep pool, a 5m rappel, a 10m rappel after a 15-20m traverse, and a 15m rappel with a traverse leading to a jump if water levels are high. Anchors are generally chemical bolts with rings. Water levels dictate the possibility of jumps versus rappels. This canyon is equipped with chemical anchors, requiring a 40m rope. Wetsuit needs vary with water levels. The return walk is a short 20 minutes.
