Serra de Tramuntana
When you are on Mallorca, in the Balearic Islands, head out on this guided sightseeing day trip to discover the beauty of the island. Get comfortable aboard an air-conditioned coach and while your guide explains interesting facts about the island, enjoy spectacular views of the Tramuntana, a UNESCO World Heritage-listed mountain range.
We begin our excursion by entering The Serra de Tramuntana on coach, which is the backbone of Mallorca. A natural beauty nourished by culture, traditions and a strong identity, where the first travellers to enjoy the island arrived in the 19th century.
Its extremes, Formentor to the northeast and La Trapa to the southwest, are separated by some 90 kilometres, along which you will find numerous viewpoints, turquoise blue beaches and stone villages that are well worth a visit.
Duration: 2 hours

Torrent de Pareis
The Torrent de Pareis was formed in the middle of the Tramuntana mountain range thousands of years ago, a canyon more than 3 kilometres long that runs between gorges until it reaches the famous cove of Sa Calobra. This gorge of limestone rocks, was forged over time by the erosive action of torrential water.
It has now become a real focal point for sporting activities due to the formations and for it´s absolutely breathtaking views!
