Rio Aros and Yaqui, Dec. 2011
This trip was funded by the Northern Jaguar Project to study birds and associated habitat on the Northern Jaguar Reserve in central eastern Sonora. We used inflatable kayaks to run the river for 9 days, from Las Tesotas to the Rio Sahuaripa bridge near Sahuaripa, Sonora.
Cajón del Agua, Sonora
This trip was taken in January 2006 to the Cajón del Agua, the next canyon south of El Aguaje just north of the Sierra Cucurpe. This canyon is southeast of Santa Ana, Sonora. This is a very special canyon and you can read more about it here.
Rio Aros/Yaqui Float Trip April 2011
In early April 2011 a 2 person crew took 2 inflatable kayaks down part of the Rio Aros and Rio Yaqui to do bird surveys on parts of the Northern Jaguar Reserve and nearby areas. The reserve encompasses 70 square miles of prime jaguar habitat just 125 miles south of the Arizona border. This area is one of the most remote and rugged wilderness left in northern Mexico.
