The gorges
The more beautiful part of the river is located about five kilometers up the river, you can access this beautiful spot by taking the road opposite to the bridge you and driving to the end of the road where you would meet the river.
From here you journey on foot begins, where you can go up the river or cross the river and use the trail through the cocoa estate.
At one point, you will have to come off trail and follow the river until you meet the gorges, but you can also take a second trail before meeting the gorges to go further up the river past the gorges.
This would allow you to enjoy the drift down the river as the current takes you through multiple pools or gorges.
Life jackets are recommended because some of the gorges are deep and long.
These gorges or pools are great for swimming, jumping, diving, or just having a relaxing soak in the cold clear water.
But while enjoying the river be mindful of the rains, and if the flow of water is heavy. You don’t want to be caught off guard if the river comes down.
