Description

Si eres de los que sabe disfrutar de una buena excursión, te ofrecemos un increíble paseo por la costa sur de Mallorca. Durante esta inolvidable experiencia, caminaremos por los acantilados de la isla para disfrutar de las maravillosas vistas que nos puede ofrecer un paraje natural como éste. Situados en la parte meridional de Mallorca, estos impresionantes acantilados ofrecen, por una parte, vistas increíbles de la bahía de Palma o de las largas playas del sur mallorquín, y por otra, una exhuberante naturaleza, aguas cristalinas y calas escondidas. El punto de partida de esta excursión es Cala Pí. Desde allí seguiremos por la línea de la costa sobre los increíbles acantilados hacia la bahía de Palma. Podremos observar a lo lejos la isla de Cabrera y recorreremos sitios a los que el turismo convencional no ha llegado. Con la llegada del verano y el buen tiempo, aprovecharemos para darnos un buen bañito en la Cala Beltrán, para refrescarnos antes de regresar al punto de partida situado en Cala Pí. Así que no olvides traer tu bañador y una toalla. También te recomendamos que traigas ropa seca para cambiarte, y un calzado cómodo, especial para senderismo, así como una mochila con algo de comer y beber. No encontraremos en la playa de Cala Pí 15 minutos antes de la hora de salida.
