The upland areas of Mallorca's north-west region remain magically unspoiled and underpopulated. Here, the imposing Serra de Tramuntana with more than 40 peaks rising above 1000m dominates the horizon. Its trail skirts down to cliffs which plunge into the sea.

On your journey you wind up the six steep curves of the Seis Voletes. Through the valley littered with tight terraces of olive trees above dry stone walls, you rise to the Mirador to enjoy the magnificent views of the entire Sóller basin and the coast beyond. Torrent de Pareis passes through the richly cultivated fruit orchards of Vall de Balitx valley, moving uphill to overlook Cala Tuet where you can drop down to the beach of sand and pebbles for a swim, laze or refreshing drink. We then descend to the clamour of Sa Calobra teeming with day trippers, where you can reward yourself with a drink at one of the café terraces.

Following the boundary of Ses Tanques de Baix through a lip of the gorge you begin a zigzagging descent towards a steep narrow trail. After passing between two giant perpendicular cliffs you return to the stream bed, here begins the true Torrent dePareis. A narrow canyon where the sun rarely penetrates you continue along the gorge as you begin to climb down the first of three giant boulders. After negotiating these huge monoliths your reward is Font des Degotis, a spring where water drips from the fronds on the rock wall, here you can quench your thirst or even take a natural shower.
