The Caves of Drach
Mallorca has an underground world. Some of the most beautiful caves are to be found on this island. Although we are talking about dark and damp places, these natural spaces are one of the island’s great attractions. One of the most famous is the Cuevas del Drach, four caves connected to each other over a distance of more than 1,000 metres where you can see spectacular stalactites. But that’s not all: the entrance fee includes a boat trip on the underground lake Martel and a classical music concert. Of course, there is always a queue to get in.
Sa Dragonera
Sa Dragonera is an islet located in the extreme southwest of Mallorca, separated from it by a small channel of about 800 metres. Together with the islets of Pantaleu and Mitjana they form the Sa Dragonera Natural Park. This small island is the symbol of the environmental struggle in the Balearic Islands, as it was thanks to popular mobilisation that the construction of a marina and a tourist complex was prevented. There are boat trips every day to visit Sa Dragonera. In less than a day you can travel from one end to the other and enjoy one of the best landscapes in Mallorca.
Gorg Blau and Cúber
There are no rivers or lakes in Mallorca, but there is no lack of fresh water. In the Tramuntana mountain range there are dozens of torrents and streams, but what really stands out are two reservoirs nestled in the mountains, known as Mallorca’s “lakes”. These are the Gorg Blau and Cúber reservoirs, which form a natural landscape of such beauty that even painters and photographers have come to the area to capture the surroundings.
The Tramuntana mountain range
The Tramuntana mountain range is Mallorca’s most precious treasure. Some of the most beautiful villages on the island are located in the foothills of its mountains, such as Valldemossa, Pollensa and Sòller. But it is not only its villages that make it stand out, but also its peaks: there are 54 peaks in Mallorca that exceed 1,000 metres, and almost all of them are in the Tramuntana. Only by hiking through the villages or in the mountains to reach one of these peaks can you understand why the Serra de Tramuntana is a Unesco World Heritage Site.
Es Salt Des Freu
This is possibly the largest and most beautiful waterfall in Mallorca. It is one of those places that escapes the classic tourist circuit and is probably only known to Mallorcans themselves. It is located in the Orient Valley, 1.5 km from the village of Orient, in the heart of the Tramuntana mountain range. It used to be a charcoal-makers’ route, so you can see ancient ruins along the way, such as stone troughs and some pools.
Albufera of Mallorca
The Albufera de Mallorca, located in the north of the island, is the largest and most important wetland area of all the islands that make up the Balearic Islands and the first to be declared a Natural Park. This place of great environmental value can be visited free of charge. To do so, you must go to the park’s reception and register as a visitor. Once there, you can choose the route you want among the four available (on foot or by bicycle). You will also be provided with a walking guide to get to know one of Mallorca’s natural jewels better.
The Camí dels Presos (as it passes through Sa Talaia)
One of the natural wonders of Mallorca is the Parque Natural de la Península de Llevant. This nature reserve in the northwest of the island is home to some very beautiful spots. As it is impossible to discover its more than 1,600 hectares, we recommend that you do not miss the Camí dels Presos . In addition to enjoying the views, you will also learn about history on this famous path. You can see the remains of the camp of the soldiers imprisoned during the Civil War who were held in a labour camp between 1941 and 1943.
Ses Fonts Ufanes
Ses Fonts Ufanes are a most peculiar hydrological phenomenon. They are springs with intermittent outcrops that gush forth in a diffuse and very powerful manner (only when it has been raining for several days and there is enough water accumulated). Normally the local press announces when you can see this phenomenon in the municipality of Campanet, on the Gabellí Petit estate. Once there, the route is simple, circular and takes no more than a 20-minute walk to where this phenomenon takes place.
Advice on how to care for and maintain natural areas of special interest.
Avoid activities or behaviour that pose a danger to the conservation of the area. These alter the stillness and tranquillity, or that may impair the quality of the visit for the rest of the visitors.
Do not uproot or cut the vegetation
It is forbidden to disturb, injure, capture or kill wild animals, their eggs, offspring or larvae.
We must respect the silence of nature.
No littering
You may not collect, destroy or alter elements of archaeological, historical or geological interest.
