Timeline
17:11
Grab a snack or drink from the tiki-style bar near the tree-house camping area. This is your base camp before you head up to the viewpoints.
17:36
Walk up past the top of the village into the canyon. The traces of modern life disappear quickly. You are left with beautiful cliffs, forests, and the river. Find a spot near the cascades or the deep carvings that resemble Mayan work.
17:56
Watch the sunset. The sun sets toward the WSW, casting golden light over the cliffs and carvings. The light starts about 43 minutes before the sun disappears.
18:26
Stay for the twilight. The canyon feels like a time machine. Enjoy the quiet before heading back down.
Local tip
Bring a warm layer. The canyon can get chilly once the sun drops behind the cliffs.
