Cañon Macho de Monte — Attraction in Cordillera

Guide or no guide: If you want to spend time above the waterfall, and above the water slide, then just park, take the short trail that others described, go down the sandy hill on your right, and hang out at the river. No ropes, guides, etc. needed. Just bring some snacks and drinks, pack out your garbage, and have a great time :-). There are places to get wet, dunk yourself, splash around in the water. If you want to go down the natural waterslide (fun!), you should bring a rope to help climb back up (like 10M long, so you can double it up). There's a place to tie/clip it in at the top. A carabiner would be helpful too (a real climbing one, not a little junky one).

If you want to explore down the canyon further, AND want to jump off the waterfall at the other end (going farther, under the bridge), you probably want a guide, their ropes, and their gear to help you climb back up safely. A guide can also do other cool stuff with you, like rappel down the cliff walls, etc. But if all you want to do is swim at the upper (easy-to-get-to) area, and if you're relatively fit, and want to go down the short natural water slide, you shouldn't need a guide. I'm actually planning to go back with a guide soon, just do rappelling down the...

Quiet and relaxing place, have clear water and is a great place to spend couple hours. Parking space is limited so arrive early and preferable on weekday because is less crowded, the trail to make it down the river is quite difficult and rocky area, and to make it down the swimming hole will require to have a rope. Summer time is the best...

Si te gustan los paisajes naturales y eres algo aventurero este sitio es ideal. La vista del cañón es impresionante. Para que puedas disfrutar por completo la experiencia necesitas equipo para escalar, sino cuentas con el mismo busca un guía certificado, lo necesitas para acceder al río en la parte baja del cañon. Si lo tuyo no es la escalada igual se disfruta del paisaje, tiene un parador fotográfico y desde arriba puedes ver parte de la formación del cañón. Hay un sendero que te permite llegar a una zona del río donde te puedes bañar. El parador está sobre la carretera y bien señalizado así que es fácil de llegar. El espacio para estacionar no es un amplio por lo que es mejor llegar temprano. Importante no vi sitio para disponer de la basura, por lo tanto asegurate que lo que lleves,...
