Technical Barranquismo in Barranc de l'Infern, Vall d'Ebo

Context The Barranc de l'Infern, located in the Vall d'Ebo of the Marina Alta region, is one of the largest ravines in the Valencian Community. Its steep vertical walls and deep chasms form a narrow canyon with significant geological and archaeological value. The approach to the start of the descent takes about 30 minutes on foot from marked access points, leading into a landscape where wind carries the scent of thyme and damp earth.

The experience The activity begins with a 30-minute walk to the starting point and a technical briefing. You'll then descend the ravine for approximately two hours, combining rappelling and climbing techniques across both dry and wet sections. The echo of water echoing between the rock walls and the rough texture of the stone beneath your hands accompany every movement. The descent concludes with a return along clearly marked trails.

For whom This experience is suitable for individuals in good physical condition with prior experience in barranquismo or rock climbing, aged 12 and over. It is not recommended for those with severe vertigo, mobility issues, or lack of technical climbing experience.

Local context The Vall d'Ebo preserves rural traditions and is part of a protected natural area. Local guides are deeply familiar with the ravine and its history, contributing to the conservation of this unique space while sharing its cultural and ecological significance.
