Description

The Torrent d'Orient is a river and natural area in the Tramuntana mountains of Mallorca, serving as both a starting point and destination for popular walking routes.

Nature & Walking

The Torrent d'Orient draws walkers with its waterfalls and a rich palette of lush greens that define the surrounding landscape. A particularly recommended route combines the dry-stone wall path up to the Castello with the ses Artigues water trail descending to Alaró — a circuit of around 16 km with 800 metres of ascent. Those setting off from Santa Maria can reach the area via a footpath, for which sturdy footwear is strongly advised. From the road, the site is a roughly 8 to 12-minute walk.

Water Levels & Conditions

The stream bed only carries water after sufficient rainfall. If you're planning to cross through the water, bring boots or make use of a bridge set further back in the flood area.

Who It's Good For

The natural area is a great choice for family outings with children and al fresco picnics. In the village of Torrent d'Orient you'll find characterful local eateries perfect for a leisurely stop.
