This spot has a canyon of remnant rainforest among a setting of a small town and lime and coffee plantations. There is a railroad track that gives good access to untouched forest, or you can walk into the canyon on a steep muddy path.

Visits

2007-10-12: I walked on the railroad tracks for awhile in the morning. In the afternoon, I hiked into the canyon to a waterfall.
