This cache will lead you to a 5 km tour in the very West of Mallorca and it will take you about 2 - 3 hours. Starting point is a small, beautiful village called Sant Elm (San Telmo), which can be reached by a small road from Andratx in about 15 minutes.
You can find the tour here on Komoot.
Final destination is the beautiful bay Cala Em Basset, where pirates used to ancor in ancient times - as local people say. This wonderful place has no sand beach, but a breathtaking underwater world. So don't forget your scuba diving gear!
This multicache route takes two stages before the final cache location in the bay is identified by numbers you must retrieve from the waypoints.
What is needed for your trip:
- Drinking water (minimum 1 Liter per person, depending on the wheather)
- A hat or something to cover your brains before it starts to boil
- Sunscreen
- Hiking boots or similar
- Optionally recommended: a towel and scuba gear (see picture!)
Some really good advices:
- There is a wonderful track at the coast to the Torre, you can find it here: Komoot-Track
- WP2: At the Torre, watch your step and kids! There are holes in the ground directly at the Torre.
- From WP2 to Final: Do not try to cut short!! Use the given waypoint. The terrain might get steeb and slippery, if you miss it!
The whole tour is at your own risk but should be no problem at all, if you follow the advices. |
