The meeting point is the Popayán Transport Terminal. We start at 7:00 am.

In this place we verify the information of the participants and give some general recommendations.

Then we will travel to the village of La Laja, in the rural area of Popayán in campero or bus type transport, depending on the number of participants.

Being in the village of La Laja, we will get ready with the necessary equipment to do the activity. We will hike approximately 20 minutes to the canyon. Being in the canyon, an induction will be given on the use of the equipment and the techniques of progression and descent in the canyon.

Then we will walk through the forest until we find the first waterfall to descend. Approximately 25 meters high.

We will descend in order and at the end, we progress through the water until we find the second waterfall to descend.

At this point we will have a snack before getting ready for the second descent.

This last waterfall has an approximate height of 15 meters and has a greater flow of water.

At the end, each one will wash the wetsuit and their equipment, to move to the lunch point.

At the end of lunch, there will be a feedback of the activity with the participants and we will go back to the city.
