I have not run the Río Santiago next to the Río Cuero. The Hibbard guidebook description says it is all class II except for one class III rapid at the beginning.

A full description is in the Mayan Whitewater El Salvador, Honduras, & Nicaragua guidebook.

Descent History: The Ríos Honduras guys must have run it.
