Exciting path along the Río Ancora with river crossings. In the southern part there is a waterfall with a deep pool, immediately after (downstream) larger stones in the riverbed form a kind of ford. Depending on the water level, the more or less wild river can be crossed over or through here. With higher flooding, it becomes adventurous. Further north on the left (eastern) river bank, a beautiful path leads along the wooded slope above the river with wonderful views of the river with bright green-blue pools and small waterfalls.
