Step by Step

Explore the Cova de s'Aigua in Menorca with this guided tour. This is an experience that lasts around 45 minutes for groups of around 13 people where a professional guide will go with you to explain how this natural formation originated over the decades.

Immerse yourself in this 2,500-metre deep cave, where you will be impressed by the number of stalactites and stalagmites that you will find during your walk.

This cave is located on the south coast of Menorca, near the town of Cala en Porter, and is known for its impressive interior, the history of which travellers will learn about during the tour.

The cave was formed over millions of years by the erosive action of underground water on limestone rock and, according to archaeological evidence, this place was used by prehistoric humans. They may have taken refuge in its chambers and used it as a place of ritual or religious significance.

In the 19th century, it was rediscovered by local residents, who began to explore its chambers and document its unique geology and ecology.

Another of the cave's great peculiarities is its underground lake, one of the largest in Europe, known as a crystal clear lake and about 10 metres deep. It is fed by a combination of rainwater and groundwater that seeps into the cave from the limestone rock. Its main feature is its crystal clear water of a striking greenish-blue hue. This offers travellers an opportunity to contemplate the cave's underwater formations and the ecosystem it thrives in.
