The Caves of Drach, or Caves del Drach, are a mesmerizing natural wonder located on the eastern coast of Mallorca, Spain. These captivating underground formations have been shaped over millions of years by the gentle erosive forces of water.
The caves extend for about 1,200 meters and delve deep into the heart of the Earth, revealing a stunning display of stalactites and stalagmites that have formed into intricate shapes and patterns. The name "Drach" translates to "dragon," and the caves' name draws from a mythical association, as the interior's mysterious and otherworldly formations evoke the imagery of a dragon's lair. Visitors are taken on a guided tour that winds through dimly lit passages and awe-inspiring chambers, revealing a hidden world of natural artistry. One of the main highlights of the Caves of Drach is an underground lake called Lake Martel, one of the largest subterranean lakes in the world, which visitors can explore on a boat ride while being serenaded by classical music, creating a surreal and enchanting experience.
The Caves of Drach have long been a popular tourist destination, drawing visitors from around the globe to witness the breathtaking beauty of the underground landscape. The caverns are not only a testament to the slow and patient work of nature but also a testament to human fascination with the mysterious and unknown. The combination of geological marvels, ambient lighting, and the ethereal sounds of music echoing in the chambers makes the Caves of Drach a unique and unforgettable destination for those seeking a glimpse into the hidden wonders of the Earth's geological history.
The visit includes a live concert and once it is finished you will be able to cross Martel Lake by boat or on foot through the bridge without any extra cost.
