Canal de les Àligues o Torrent de Coll de Port

The Canal de les Àligues is a dry, north-facing canyon in Montserrat, requiring a 1-hour approach from the Creu de Regató parking. The path involves climbing stairs, handrails, and chains, leading to a steep, decomposed section in the Canal del Miracle before reaching Coll de Port. The descent features five rappels, with the longest being 27m. Anchors include an old rope on a tree and a clip, but caution is advised due to loose rock. A 2x30m rope is needed, and a wetsuit is not required as the canyon is typically dry. The descent takes 1.5 hours. The return is a short 20-minute walk. This canyon is suitable for those comfortable with exposed, decomposed channels typical of Montserrat, and who are mindful of falling stones.
