Outlet from the Torrent de Pareis. Access: After leaving the Soller-Pollença road and in direction La Calobra, at the 3 km. mark, just on a curve before finalising the ascent and begining the descent, there´s an area for parking where we leave own vehicles or if you have a 4 wheel-drive yor can continue along a track that stops 150 m. higher. After that there is a 150 m. walk to the take-off area.
Take-Off: Natural with a little grass and stones. This doesn´t present any problem.

Flying: If you can reach a height above the mountain then the flight is spectacular, flying along side “Puig Major”, that with 1.445 m. is the highest mountain on the island, from where you can easily go towards the East and arrive at “Massanella”, from where moving South Eastely you can reach the island plain. The scenery is impressive and a descending flight is also worthwhile due to the spectacular surroundings. Torrent de Pareis. We land in the bed of the torrent.

Landing:  This is in the river bed of the “Torrente de Pareis”, and it is impressive because it is a gorge with 400 m. sides, the landing takes place in the last section right next to the sea. In summer the crowds of tourists make it inadvisable to fly.
