THE ROUTE

Steep descents and natural slides

The canyon features multiple vertiginous descents and water-sculpted channels that force technical moves and bold choices at each turn—expect to rappel, slide and negotiate cascades as the route narrows and drops.

THE SENSES

Cold water, close rock, big heart rate

You’ll move through cool, enclosed sections where splashing water and the smell of wet stone dominate—every jump and pool resets the pulse and deepens the immersion in the canyon environment.

THE LANDSCAPE

Mallorca’s dramatic interior

Away from the coast, the surrounding countryside and rock formations create a dramatic backdrop; the canyon’s turns and drops reveal new perspectives of the island’s rugged interior at every stage.
