El Salto
February 20th, 2008 by Aaron
Today was a great day on the El Salto section of the Rio Naranjo. The entire river is passing through the power plant so we put in on the discharge canal. The water was crystal clear and warm. We have been trying to hit this run at least once a week. There are so many clean drops above 20 feet. Some are stairsteps, and others clean free fall. 
There are a few sticky holes but the creek boats usually make short work of those.
All in all, there are 15 drops in 2 miles. 3 Are more than 22 feet. Really nice gradient, the river saves it all for the cascadas. Kayak Huasteca will be running regular trips to El Salto. If this is what your interested in check us out and send an e-mail to paddletime at gmail.com.

Are you running the last drop before the pool above el Salto de Meco (the 100′ drop). When we were there in December 2007, the drop had broken off and there was not a good line anywhere on the whole ledge…
I love that stretch of river! Peace out!

Wes, we do run that last ledge. it can be a bit tricky sometimes. I sent you an E-mail with some pics. I’m glad there are people out there, that feel like I do about this run. It is INCREDIBLE.
