Torrent de Pareis
This is the star of all canyons in Majorca due to the spectacularity of its walls and the possibility of admiring them without "rapelar". The length of the course is of about 8 kms. In summer, there exists the possibility of returning to Port de Soller from La Calobra by boat. This is quite a different way of ending up the descent of a canyon.
Remarks: At raining season it is essential to wear neoprene in those zones with pools as they will be full of water, otherwise we will get wet as we go along our way. In summer these pools with water may be avoided.
