Geocache Description:


This cache will take you about 2-3 hours when starting from Sant Elm.

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 has only one stage at the Torre before the final.  Its location in the bay is identified by two numbers you must retrieve from the Torre.


What is needed for your trip:

  • Drinking water 
  • 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 the it here: Komoot-Track (this one commences up to Sa Trapa and a great Mirador)
  • At the Torre, watch your step and kids! There are holes in the ground directly at the Torre.
  • From Torre 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.
