Description: Cascadas Micos is the kayaker's Disneyland of waterfall fun. Ranging from 10 to 25 feet, the seven falls of Micos are kayak paradise. From novice to expert, Micos is guaranteed fun for every level kayaker. Below the falls are a wonderful series of travertine rapids. Micos is a kayakers paradise similar to the famous Aqua Azul to the south. It's better in many ways: easy access, all the falls on the run are runnable and have a chicken run as well. It's great staging area for a Santa Maria, Gallinas, Micos Loop.
