Discover the Hidden Wonders of the Genova Caves in Palma de Mallorca – A Natural Treasure Beneath the Island
Mallorca is famous for its stunning beaches, charming villages, and vibrant culture. However, beneath its surface lies a lesser-known but equally fascinating attraction: the Genova Caves (Cuevas de Genova). Located just a short drive from Palma, these caves offer visitors a chance to explore a subterranean world filled with awe-inspiring stalactites, stalagmites, and natural rock formations.
Originally discovered in the early 20th century, the caves are the smallest publicly accessible caves on the island, yet they provide an intimate and immersive experience into Mallorca’s geological history. Visitors can enjoy a guided tour through the caves‘ winding passageways, descending up to 36 meters below the surface.
A Journey Through Time and Rock
The Genova Caves were formed millions of years ago by the slow movement of water seeping through the limestone rock. This process created the unique formations that decorate the cave’s interior. Unlike larger caves on the island, such as the famous Cuevas del Drach, the Genova Caves offer a quieter, more personal encounter with nature’s artistry.
A visit to the caves lasts about 30 minutes, during which a knowledgeable guide explains the fascinating geological processes behind the formations. The caves are illuminated with atmospheric lighting, enhancing their mystical beauty while maintaining their natural integrity.
