CAÑO CANOAS

A tributary of the Río Guayabero, Caño Canoas owes its name to the traditional boats of the local population ("canoas" meaning canoes): it is therefore likely that it was named by the natives who navigated its course. Winding through a wide variety of habitats, this canyon is home to a unique variety of wildlife, from swamps to jungle treetops. Accessible by guided hike, it's the ideal place for nature lovers to admire toucans, howler monkeys and sloths.
