Located between the quaint villages of Callosa de Ensarriá and Bolulla in Spain’s Comunidad Valenciana region, the Barranco de Bolulla, also known as Estret de les Penyes, offers a canyoning experience that perfectly balances adrenaline and natural wonder. Alicante Aventura, a well-regarded local outfitter based in Villajoyosa, guides adventurers along this thrilling yet accessible route designed for beginners and families alike.
This short but intense descent unfolds amid rugged limestone walls carved over millennia by flowing waters, creating a narrow, spectacular passage. What truly sets this canyon apart are its natural thermal springs, feeding pristine pools of crystal-clear water that invite refreshing swims and safe jumps from rock ledges. These spots offer both excitement and respite, making the experience rewarding at every turn.

Navigating through the vertical rock corridor, participants experience a unique blend of geology and hydrology, including warm water springs unusual for the region. The canyon is especially captivating in the days following rain, when water flows intensify and clarity increases.
