The most beautiful canyon in Mallorca
Mallorca is not only a swimming destination as one might think at first glance, but also a great destination for tourism thanks to the Tramuntana mountain range in the north of the island. You will also find the beautiful Torrente de Pareis canyon in it. The classic full canyon crossing starts at a place called Escorca. If you don't want to deal with logistics, it's easier to drive to Sa Calobra beach, where the gorge opens, and go in the opposite direction, and come back when you're bored
A short walk from Sa Calobra beach
A lighter version of the trip to the Torrent de Pareis gorge starts at the equally famous beach of Sa Calobra.
The beginning of the gorge
The gorge is wide at the end, but that changes after a few tens of meters
Beautiful surroundings
Rocks and solitary coniferous trees are the beauty of the Tramuntana mountains
The real entrance to the gorge
The sand is slowly disappearing and you are walking on small pebbles. Soon they will be bigger and bigger stones
Pond in the gorge
As in any proper mountain gorge, you will come across small lakes here too
The path through the gorge
If you're here soon, you won't even meet a living person here. That morning time is good not only for the gorge, but especially for the beach of Sa Calobra, where it is head to head
Half cave
Thanks to karst rocks and the action of water, the surroundings of the gorge are rugged. Here you will find various semi-caves and overhangs
Highway through the gorge
In some places, the passage is really a walk
A more challenging part of the gorge
The comfortable part of the gorge soon ends and scrambling and jumping over scree and boulder climbing begins. Here, most beach-goers turn it around after a while
Gigantic boulders
The path is often blocked by gigantic boulders – I wouldn't want to go there if another one comes from the mountain
In the gorge
In places where the gorge opens up again, we turn around and go back.
For those who would like to stay in a very beautiful place relatively close to this gorge, Holiday Home Cala Tuent is a secret tip
