Because of its 300 meters walls, its wild character and some complicated steps, most of the Majorcan mountaineers consider the Torrent de Pareis as the most extraordinary tour of the island. Because its biological and geological oddities, the Torrent de Pareis has been declared a Natural Monument.

It’s an itinerary with deserved respect: very difficult for some and easy for us and our visitors if it’s done with knowledge and accompanied by a good guide. Appropriate hiking boots or trainers, good physical condition and good health are required. It’s not an easy route, where the work of the guide will give us the confidence to overcome the obstacles on the way and will lead us, during an unforgettable day, to the magical cove of Sa Calobra. Normally, it’s practicable, without a wetsuit, from April to October, but always conditioned to the flow conditions of the canyon that we guides know perfectly.

We will start the excursion at the Escorca Restaurant, where we will leave our cars, at 630 meters above sea level, to descend in approximately one hour, along a cobbled mountain path, to the Torrent de Lluc, where the canyon begins. We will reach the Entreforc (beginning of the Torrent de Pareis) and we will visit the end of the famous Gorg Blau or Sa Fosca canyon, to contemplate the great crack of more than 250 meters high, where a few meters separate both walls.

Purely mountain route through the bed of the canyon of the Torrent de Pareis, where there’s no marked path, but we will move between huge blocks, rocks and whimsical formations shaped by the bed of the canyon. The use of ropes or climbing techniques is not necessary in normal wet conditions and if the correct route and the guide’s instructions are followed.

At the end of the tour, participants can choose whether to return to the meeting point or take the boat to the Port de Sóller.
