Cuevas del Drach, Porto Cristo

#cuevasdeldrach

Situated on Mallorca's east coast, the caves are one of the island's greatest natural wonders. The tangle of caves and tunnels stretches for 2.4 km and reaches a height of 25 m. The main attraction of the caves is Lake Martel, one of the largest underground water reservoirs in the world. A classical music concert is held in its chamber every day. In the unusual scenery, you can listen to works by Chopin, Caballero or Offenbach.

After the performances, short boat rides are organized, which allow you to get to know the caves in more detail. Porto Cristo is a good base for the caves.

Why Choose Cuevas del Drach ?

Stalactite, stalagmite and many rock formations can be found in many caves.

The largest underground lake in the world is located here 🌎

It is situated at a depth of 25 m and is 177 m long and 230 m wide. Rowing boats 🚣 run on it, the journey, although short, but is very exciting

How much time for sightseeing?

Visiting the caves will take you about 30 to 40 minutes. Successively we come to the amphitheater hall in which we are sitting. After training in several languages, we learn that we cannot film, record sound or take pictures.

The concert itself lasts about 12 minutes and is an amazing spectacle of light and sound. Provided that one of the young children is not scared of the dark and starts to check the acoustic capabilities of the underground amphitheater on their own :-)))

Do I recommend Cuevas del Drach

Yes of course. The place is beautiful and unusual. For 15 euro we get a fascinating experience for both body and soul. A beautiful musical spectacle and an unforgettable experience. An absolute must-see when visiting Majorca
