Canal d’en Marc

The approach to Canal d'en Marc starts from Mas de Barberans. Drive 3.3 km on a track suitable for cars to a parking area near a bridge. Cross the bridge and follow the well-maintained hiking path. At Cova d'en Marc, turn right uphill, passing a cable handrail, then exit left onto a marked trail to R1, taking about 30 minutes. This canyon is mostly dry (a1) but has avoidable pools via guided rappels. It features 7 rappels over 300m, with excellent equipment including chemical bolts, parabolts, and pre-installed handrails. The first rappel is 8m, followed by a 20m rappel, and a 15m rappel accessed through a hole. A 2x20m or 2x40m rope is suitable, and a wetsuit is optional. The descent takes 2 hours, and the return is a quick 10-minute walk back to the car. There is one escape route available.
