Ribeira dos Cedros (Superior)
Beginner · v2a2 III
Rappels: 15 · Max waterfall: 25 m · Min rope: 25 m
Current status
As of July 2020Dry in high summer; bring at least a 30 m rope for the "25 m" waterfall.
Season and flow
The canyon is dry in high summer (late July), which is normal for that time of year.
Anchors and re-equipment
For the 25 m waterfall it is better to use a 30 m rope: the drop is not precisely measured but appears to be considerably more than 25 m.
Anchors, flow and access change with every storm and every winter. Treat the current status as a snapshot and check the latest conditions before any descent.
