Cuevas del Drach

Cuevas del Drach, caves of the dragon, amazing caves with outstanding stalagmites and stalagtites creating breathtaking natural sculptures. Located on Mallorca's east coast the caves are without doubt one of the island's most outstanding tourist attractions, extending for almost 2,400 metres and including internal heights of 25 metres above the cave floor.

It certainly is a trip worth taking but please be aware there is a lot of climbing involved, especially on the way out so if anyone in your party has a heart condition or problems walking then it is perhaps not so adviseable. If you take young children please take care of them, although fenced off on the sides there are places that small children could easily go through and the walk is quite long and arduos.  It is a really beautiful and awe inspiring place to see and quite takes your breath away at the amazing things nature produces. Hidden within the caves is Lake Martel, considered to be one of the largest subterranean lakes in the world, (177 metres long and 230 metres wide) on which there are daily performances of classical music featuring pieces by Caballero, Chopin, Offenbach, ... 



After the concert one can take a short boat trip on the lake. The unequalled beauty of the caves is further enhanced by the lightning planned and set in place by the engineer Carlos Buigas. Have a look at the video above and you can see how stunning these caves really are.
