Itinerary description
Difficulty : from moderate to difficult
Important : after 2km you have two dams (3 to 4m high) to pass. There is no water. First dam, no problem, there is a path on the left side. Second dam, you have to climb it, use the rock on the right side. After, just follow the river bed, pass to the other valle, from el cañon to el cañon del Inca. Very nice hike from Tupiza...

The path is not always easy. There are around 10 places where you have to climb up or down, from 2 to 5 meters. It's always doable, even with vertigo.
Amazing scenery !!!
Walk recommended only for experienced people who like walking and climbing , there's a lot of rocks to climb !
Do it Only from El cañon to cañon del inca !! I did it in the wrong way and it's very hard because of the dams.

I agree with the previous post. It's quite a challenge if you are afraid of climbing, especially the dam on the cañon. The way in la quebrada is a little bite easier. Don't go with unexperienced people. I have done it from Quebrada to Cañon, the way down from the dam is quite dangerous... But beautiful trek !!

une trop belle balade...mais le gps est vivement recommandé (je ne suis parti qu'avec des photos de l'itinéraire...)
ma femme a eu du mal à passer le deuxième barrage alors on est monté sur la colline pour le contourner (beaucoup d'escalade)
