Accesso:
nessuna traduzione disponibile
If returning by boat leave a car in Port de Soller, big paid parking near Parc Municipal.
With the other car follow directions for "Vinyes Mortitx", but do not enter the iron gate if open and look for a parking right outside (limited space) or along the road.
Avvicinamento (1 h 30):
nessuna traduzione disponibile
Enter by the iron gat if open, otherwise a small pedestrian wood gate is available on the right. Follow the main road until a stone hut (generally locked) marked as a refugio, soon after crossing a dry streambed an indicated path branches off to the right and from here it goes continuously down through the canyon to the entry passin in the high grass. If there is a lot of water, you can put on the wetsuit already at the mouth of the Torrent de s'Hort des Moli coming from the left, otherwise climb around the first basin Gorg Larg on the right, pass the following basin Gorg del Bec d'Oca then on the left and past a prominent rock tower, from here on the stream is called Torrent Fondo.
Giro (1 h 30):

Short but impressive and varied canyon makes up for the long access and return journey, if there is enough running water in the pools.
If you decide to climb back up in the canyon, check at each pitch whether it is possible to climb back up by fixed ropes or by leaving yours.
The last section before the sea is particularly beautiful, with the highest pitch of 20m.
Right before the sea on the right you can notice the start of via ferrata or descend the last pitch to the sea.
Ritorno (3 h):
nessuna traduzione disponibile
Option 1: climb back the canyon, in most of the initial pitches there are fixed ropes while you should leave your ropes in the last 2/3 pitches which are the major ones; beware that the last pitch to the sea is not well equipped and needs to be climbed back too or avoided to descend. Once gained the beginning of the canyon simply use the same approach path.
Option 2: return by boat, contact Sollermar which will wait for you at the canyon end and bring you back to Port de Soller; beware that there is barely no mobile connection in the canyon and at the end, so plan well in advance the timing and agree the collection time
Option 3: climb the via ferrata that can be found on the right bank just before the last pich to the sea, which is visually and reported to be in bad conditions (update 2026). Steep, rugged rock faces with climbing up to 3rd degree and once reached the edge of the cliffs, you have to cross a very confusing cart field and than ascend briefly eastwards into a saddle. From there you can go trough the wide basin above the cliffs or back down into the valley and return by the access path, otherwise follow the path for the witches' caves.
