Dry season in torrent de Pareis

When the torrent has no water, the descent (from s’Entreforc to the sea) takes about 3 hours, mainly above the rocks, avoiding the successive steps that are found along the route, six of which are mandatory. During these steps, the guide will help you with the correct technique but you must go down using your hands and feet by easy steps of 2 to 7 meters, one of them with a rope. While descending, another aspect to keep in mind is that being long and constantly going up and down the rocks, a series of leg muscles are used that are not normally exercised. Therefore, in order to enjoy a succesfully and rewarding experience, it is necessary to have good physical condition, strong legs and a good body balance and not suffer from vertigo.
