Fico Cave
The coast of Baunei and its pearls
The Fico cave is one of the most beautiful and important caves in all Sardinia. We will take you into the mysterious tunnels of a millions of years old land, in the hidden chasms along the splendid cliffs of the coast of Baunei, to discover a unique and fascinating world. The Fico cave opens 10 meters above sea level, along the extraordinary limestone wall of the Gulf of Orosei.
Easy walkways allow you to walk in the fossil bed of an ancient underground river and penetrate the mysterious and fascinating world of caves. The cave, situated between the splendid beaches of Cala Goloritzè and Cala Biriala, is particularly important for the numerous siphons connected to the sea and from which the Monk Seal used to access to reproduce in the internal beaches. Experienced guides will take you between submarine siphons and underground waterways, current homes of rare species such as geotritone and the last kingdom of the Monk Seal. It is possible to consult the Fico cave website for more information.
