El Mascarat Canyon

El Mascarat Canyon, a nature show with a large vertical gap and very high stone walls in Altea!

The Mascarat canyon is located in the town of Altea, very close to Benidorm, with easy road access. If you are coming from Valencia, you only have to take the Mediterranean motorway, the AP-7, heading south. The ravine is very close to the town centre.

You can take advantage of the trip to enjoy a full day of adventure, as very close to the canyon is Morro del Toix, some impressive cliffs that can be explored through our kayak route in that area.

The Mascarat canyon

Seen from the outside, the Mascarat canyon is a large vertical chasm with high stone walls. It is narrow and cramped, which made it a challenge to cross this chasm until all the bridges that can be seen today were built.

For the adventurous who dare to explore its depths, they will find an almost 900-metre journey in which light and shadow create an impressive spectacle. Some walls are only a few metres away, while others open up much wider.

As you progress, you’ll be able to watch the bridges arch across the entire course. You’ll have to watch your feet and stop looking up, though, as you’ll find challenges to overcome: several abseils, cliffs and handrails that will provide you with a lot of fun.

It is important to walk it when the weather is good, as it becomes a real challenge if the previous days have been rainy, due to the water that can be found and that would make it difficult to walk.
