About this experience

Discover an underground world of magic and mystery in the impressive Drach Caves, a unique experience in Mallorca!

Located in Porto Cristo, these four caves were formed between 11 and 5.3 million years ago. Their subterranean landscape, shaped by the filtration of rainwater through limestone rocks, looks like something out of a science fiction film.

The Drach Caves are a dramatic limestone cave system on the outskirts of Porto Cristo, featuring carved walkways, impressive stalactites and stalagmites, and one of the largest underground lakes in the world, the lake Martel, where you will be able to enjoy a boat ride and a classical music concert.

On the way back, you will also have the chance to visit a pearl factory in Mallorca, with over a hundred years of experience in crafting world-renowned organic artificial pearls.
