Easy descent to the sea. Watered until the summer. Well suited for beginners.

Access: machine translated ➜

From Andratx In the southwest of the island, we take the MA-20 towards Estellencs. From the large traffic circle on the outskirts of Andratx, we now drive 6.1 km. A small paved road branches off to the left here, but it is closed to traffic. So we park our car in a suitable place.

Approach (35 min): machine translated ➜

We take said road and follow it down to a large metal gate. To the right of it there is a crossing. We pass the houses of Es Ratjoli and come to the exit of the track (right view of the sea). Now descend to the left into the streambed of Ratjoli. After a few meters and some rappeling we come to the first - and highest - rappel. Anchor on the left and set back a bit.

Tour (1 h 20): machine translated ➜

After the 26m rappel, there are many smaller steps, some of which are abseiled and some of which are climbed down. Then you reach the sea, which you can already see after the first rappel. If you climb onto the rock shoulder on the left, you have a beautiful view.

Return (1 h 35): machine translated ➜

Either climb back in the "beam" using previously attached ropes or climb back along the edge of the stream. Theoretically, if the sea is calm, there is also the option of swimming north-east along the coast to the next exit point - http://www.wikiloc.com/wikiloc/view.do?id=7494622. In this case, fins would be useful.

Small but nice with a great view to the sea. Anchors ok, minimal flowing water to the sea. Back through the canyon, there are a few fixed ropes, but it can be done without!
