Very cool place! Definetly go into the canyon. We paid 10 Q per person entrance and 20 Q per person for the canoe but they didn't want anything for parking. Take a waterproof bag if you can because you can easily wade and swim back from the canyon instead of taking the canoe back. Also from the end of the canoe ride you can wade, swim and walk further upstream, which is quite nice. Might be cool to take a floating device (tube or so) with you for the way back downstream.

Lovely little boat ride. Bit expensive though if you don’t come for the whole day. It was 10 qt for the parking, 10qt per person and if you want to do the boat ride (which is very recommendable, it’s absolutely lovely). It’s another 20qt per person. Absolutely stunning place and canyon.

The ‘Paseo en cayuco’ takes you into a beautiful canyon just about five minutes upstream. There you can leave the boat, walk through the water and climb over some rocks to reach a place where you can relax and swim in the river. You can stay there as long as you want to – they will pick you up to bring you back later. Nice little trip. On the other side of the river at the Balneario Tio Polo starts a footpath that takes you up all the way to the Centro Turístico Cañón Seacacar (see there for further information).

Nice place! We paid 40q for 2 persons for a 30 min boat ride. No parking fee for the motorcycle.

We loved the boat ride! Total of 50q for two ppl, parking & boat ride - definitely worth it! we swam at the end and then got back in - didn't know you could hike (as someone else mentioned) could be worth it to wear some good water shoes - you'd easily be able to swim back out of the canyon without having to make the man (Hector was our man!) paddle back up stream. We loved it!

The canyon is pretty but no one told us that you can hike at the end of the canoe ride. If you go make sure you have shoes and clothes you can get wet in order to hike up the river.
