About Torrent de Pareis Gorge Hike
The Torrent de Pareis is the most dramatic hike on Mallorca: a gorge walk from the village of Escorca down to Sa Calobra beach, where the gorge meets the sea between 200-metre limestone walls. The route is 3 km but takes 3-4 hours because you are scrambling over boulders, wading through pools (after rain), and navigating narrow passages. Moderate to challenging difficulty. Wear proper hiking shoes (the rocks are slippery). The gorge mouth at Sa Calobra is accessible by road (the 12 km descent is 14 hairpin bends) or by boat from Port de Soller. In July, a classical concert is held inside the gorge mouth.
Insider Tips
Start from Escorca (park at the restaurant, the trailhead is marked). The gorge is dry in summer and has pools after rain. Wear proper hiking shoes with grip, the boulders are slippery. Bring water and food, there is nothing in the gorge. At Sa Calobra, you can take a boat back to Port de Soller (EUR 15) or drive back up the hairpin road. Not suitable for children under 10.
