More About Menorcan Wildlife

Despite the rather arduous nature of your walk it will be a most rewarding experience to have visited this woner of nature.

The gorges of the southern limestone plateau have developed overtens of thousands of years of gradual erosion by water and the elements.

In the marshes turtles wade about and the lizards bask in the sunshine. The damp and warm condition and the shelter provided by the deep gorge has led to a diversity of of vegetation not normally seen elsewhere.

The easiest access is from Cala Galdana. The gorges stream runs into the wide river by the beach. Keeping to the western side of the gorge follow the stream inland. The route is often overgrown and it is not far before your route will be blocked.
