3. Cueva Cala en Caló

The island in the middle of Cala en Calo was formed over time by the natural erosion of a colossal rock that fell from the surrounding cliffs. The wind, rain, and waves all played a role in shaping this island, creating the stunning natural wonder we see today.

But this erosion has also led to the creation of something truly special - a system of caves hidden beneath the central island. This cave system consists of five tunnels, all connected by a central chamber that is large enough to accommodate groups of up to 15 people.

These tunnels are the most fascinating aspect of the cave as they allow for sunlight to come in and penetrate the cave from underwater (which filters red light rays). So what we are left with is an incredibly beautiful turquoise blue colour inside! Take a look for yourself!

In short, I've been inside this cave myself hundreds of times and can attest to its spaciousness and beauty. Don't miss out on the opportunity to explore this underground wonder and discover the secrets it holds!

The Dragon's Cave is a sea cave located 30 meters underground, known for its stunning beauty and unique rock formations. This cave is home to a variety of colors, from deep purples and blues to vibrant oranges and yellows, making it a sight to behold. But the most impressive thing about the Dragon's Cave is the noise.

When the water moves inside the cave, it creates a sound like a dragon breathing. The calmer the water, the calmer the breathing, but when there are waves, the cave roars to life with the sound of a dragon's roar. It's an experience you won't forget, and one that is not to be missed. Don't miss out on the chance to visit the Dragon's Cave and witness the beauty and magic it holds.
