Infierno Canyon

Whether dry or wet, discover the most emblematic canyon in Alicante and in Spain!

Don’t let the name scare you, because there’s no lava, sulphur and little devils with tridents trying to poke you in the ass while descending the Infierno canyon. It is a dry and tortuous gully where you will need to use ropes to make it through successfully.

The Infierno canyon

The access to the Infierno canyon is in the rural village of La Vall d’Ebo, which is inland and very close to Dénia. To get there, take the direction to Pego and then the CV-712 road until you reach the town. It is also possible to meet in Pego to go together to the access to the ravine.

It is a dry ravine, quite narrow, with high walls of white stones that reflect the light in an almost magical way. This makes it possible to take spectacular photos to keep an unforgettable memory of the adventure.

It is necessary to differentiate the ravine of El Infierno from the Cathedral of Hiking, as the two routes are often confused. The canyon is a vertical route full of adrenaline, descents and abseiling, while the Catedral del Senderismo is a different route that adjoins the canyon, but nothing more.

Although it is generally a dry canyon, in some periods of heavy rain it can fill with water. This makes the route much more spectacular, although the water in the Barranco del Infierno lasts for about a week. If the circumstances are right and you feel like doing it this way, don’t hesitate to call us.

Whether dry or underwater, the Infierno canyon is emblematic both in Alicante and in the whole of Spain. Being able to discover it in both ways will make your experience even more incredible, although you will have to wait for specific times of the year to find it with water.

In addition, if you are planning a rural getaway, not far away is Benimaurell and the famous Cathedral of Hiking, a route that has more than 6,800 stone steps to walk in a relaxed way while enjoying nature. You will also find places to spend the night.
