The ravine on the San Hieronymo Peninsula was a narrow canyon located to the west of the silo and the power substation, on the east side of the peninsula. There was only one building in the entire area, directly overlooking the ravine, which appeared to be a small communications base, given the nature of the equipment inside as well as having a radio tower near the building. Caverns were also found within the walls of the ravine, some of which also reached two stories. Rockslides were also known to occur, which sometimes blocked the various thin pathways with large debris, forcing personnel to take an alternative route. In addition, to make patrolling the ravine more safe, wooden bridges were also placed between various edges.
History[]
San Hieronymo Incident[]
- Main article: San Hieronymo Incident
During the San Hieronymo Incident, Big Boss' resistance group traversed the ravine in order to locate the nearby power substation upon receiving information from one of their spy units. After carefully navigating the treacherous slopes and avoiding various patrolling Soviet soldiers, they successfully made visual confirmation of the substation at the south end of the ravine, and made plans for mounting a sabotage operation on the facility.

Hints[]
- Avoid performing the rolling maneuver unless the player knows where they will land;
- Do not remain in one spot unless shooting with the sniper rifle;
- CQC can be deadly at bridges...
