CANYONING

CANYONING IN MALLORCA

Canyoning involves progressing through the bed of a ravine (river narrowed between large natural walls) and crossing their slopes by using mixed techniques of rappelling/abseiling. On the inside or middle, we have to walk or swim through the canyon, climb down through rocks, slide down waterfalls, jump into deep pools and going through narrow gorges with crystal clear waters…

Waterfalls, canyons, nature slides, pools… it sounds pretty exciting, right? The perfect combination of adventure, fun, nature and lots of laughs while you are doing canyoning in the many canyons that are hidden throughout the entire island. Most of them are located in the mountain range called Sierra de Tramuntana, since they flow between massive walls of rock that will let you speechless. These field trips, depending on the canyon’s level of difficulty, allow you to enjoy your day full of adventure, climbing up and climbing down, putting into practice different rappel techniques, jumping into the pools and sliding down natural toboggans along the cascades.

CANYONING

Here we have a small selection of canyons in Mallorca that we normally do, and they are for all levels, from easy to difficult. All the canyons in Mallorca are in the Sierra de Tramuntana and the most incredible thing is that they are all very diverse. Canyoning is a very complete activity where you combine walking to the canyon, jumping into pools, sliding in the waterfalls, climbing, swimming, rappelling and walking back to the starting point. The canyoning season in Mallorca starts in November and normally ends in May, depending on the rain.

Easy canyons (beginner level)

Coanegra canyon

This canyon begins in the Orient valley and runs through the Coanegra valley, with its technical part that has a distance of 250 meters and 150 meters of height difference. It is a very narrow, easy, fun, and playful canyon. The highest rappel is 10 meters, and most rappels can be jumped, climbed, or slid, making it a very fun and dynamic activity. There are many ways of how to do this canyon and, it also depends on the flow conditions, weather forecast, time of the year, etc. Our favourite way is to start from the road Ma-2100 at Km 8.5 about 3 minutes past Orient towards Bunyola and then access the canyon fully equipped, passing through the large waterfalls of the Salt des Freu until reaching the technical area, which is around 45 minutes route only to access the canyon. Then the technical area is 1 hour and 30 minutes of pure fun! And depending on the flow and so on, it is possible to go back through the canyon that would add another hour of rock scrambling. Another way is to walk and back to the car, which is 1 hour and 30 minutes.

The entire canyon has a length of 1500 meters, a height difference of 150 meters and its starting point is at the Ses Barques viewpoint on the Puig Major Ma-10 road 10 minutes’ drive from Soller (car must be left at Puerto de Soller). The access by foot is through the famous farmhouse of Balitx d’Adalt, Balitx d’Enmig and Balitx d’Avall, from where the canyon begins up to the more technical part and at this point, it’s about 1 hour and 30 minutes. Then the fun part begins with water where most pools can be jumped in, rock scrambled, slid and there is an 8-meter abseil too before the canyon ends in Cala Ferrera.
The first part of the canyon does not dry much, and the waters are usually crystal clear. From here there is already the option of walking back 2 hours to Puerto de Soller, which in this case would be the easy part. Following the second and more technical part of the canyon that ends in the sea, the medium level starts because of the presence of several rappels up to the highest one that is 15 meters high.
