The water is flowing over the waterfalls in Vado Hondo this time of the year.  Water is abundant and the vegetation lush and this makes for big time fun.  The place is filled with life, the birds are chirping and the plants and most trees are green.  When you arrive at the place, an imposing and giant trunk of an old dead tree welcomes you, as well as some of the pines that we have here in Sinaloa.

The waterfalls impress us with their long tails of water that form a small lagoon where they fall.  Up ahead, you can see a small cable and when you get up close, you realize it is a zip line cable and it looks to be a short one.  But when you climb the path leading up to its launching site, you discover that it is not one but four cables that are stacked one above the other.  They run above the craggy area that drops off to form the waterfalls.  Three trained guides put a harness and a helmet on you and they give you some instructions and security rules that guarantee you safety.  You have to climb some and walk a bit more and you may get a little tired but it is worth it.  When you get to the first cable, you are ready for adventure.  The harness are hooked to the cables and with some caution, one must launch oneself.  Enjoy the vertigo and the impressive sites that the zip line ride offers as you slide from one side to the other.  When the ride is completed, you are on the other extreme amidst a grove of pines.  There are three bridges fixed to the pines and they are easy to cross.  The first bridge is made of three cables intertwined in such a way that the cables are well balanced by another overhead cable.  The second bridge is made of wood planks, much like a swing bridge.  One must jump from plank to plank until the third bridge is reached.  This is tricky because it is only one cable and one must perform a high wire act to cross it.  Supposedly, this is the last one but there is still the descent since the bridges only bring you down about 50 feet.  The descent is done by rappelling, helped by the ever present guides.

But why tell you anymore?  Go to Vado Hondo and experience what I just described.
