This was a nice little spot. Sadly we didn't make it very far up. We got to a portion with a waterfall that used to have a rope to help get up that had been removed. As we didn't have one to put into its spot we had to turn around. If we had one it may be possible to continue further up this river and connect this trace with this one https://www.tr ... acetaiwan.com/traces/81

First off from the GPS point take the path on your right-hand side. It will get you in the water. Go upstream. Really REALLY great place. We went during a drought when nothing else around had any water and it was still a good time. As such I imagine this is best done during the dry season. There were a couple of climbs that weren't all that easy. I ... managed them and I am no pro, but you'll want to have had a bit of experience scrambling around rocks without ropes to get past a couple of the falls. There are also a couple of sections where there will be ropes along the side up into the jungle and around a couple of obstacles so keep an eye out for those. Some cool caves that would make a great place for a tent can also be found for anyone into that sorta thing.
