La Reserva del Puig de Galatzo Natural Park has an area of 2.5 million square metres and is situated at the foot of the “Puig de Galatzó”; one of the most emblematic mountains of Mallorca. During the route through the park you will see a great variety of vegetation, which is due to the abrupt landscape, as there is a huge difference from the lowest point of 200m above sea level to the summit of the Puig de Galatzo at 1,026 metres. Apart from plants, La Reserva accommodates three brown bears, ostriches, emus, deer, wild donkeys, goats, peacocks, geese and a great variety of ducks in a landscape of caves and waterfalls.
The complete route is through old coal mine paths, and consists of 3.5 km passing through waterfalls of extraordinary beauty, and seeing multiple animals in a terrain of gentle slopes. After a walk of approximately an hour and a half, you will find the restaurant and rest area, a bar service, where you can have refreshments or eat. The bar offers snacks such as hamburgers, hot dogs and salad. You can also buy soft drinks.
In the hot summer months, when the heat is too much and you need to refresh, you can take a dip in “Ses Fonts d”es Ratxó”, one of the natural pools, while you contemplate the beauty of the Serra de Tramuntana. Don't forget your bathing suit. There are showers and changing rooms.
