THE GEOLOGY

Caves and natural bridges along the east coast

Several itineraries include marine caves—explicitly listed is the Cueva del Pirata—and visits to natural features such as the Puente Natural de Cala Varques, offering dramatic coastal rockwork and sheltered sea caves to view from the boat or approach during scheduled stops.
