History and geological formation
The Macho de Monte Canyon was formed over 600 years ago, after the last eruption of the Barú Volcano. The combination of seismic activity and erosion from the Macho de Monte River gave rise to this natural fissure that cuts through solid volcanic rock.
The canyon is about 96 meters long, between 4 and 6 meters wide, and up to 30 meters deep.
