Amazing Activities

Tourists on holidays to scenic locations indulge in sports and activities available at these places. Adventure sports, water sports and land sports are the major categories. In mountainous regions mountain biking, hiking, rock climbing etc are the major adventure sports.

Deep water soloing (DWS) or psicobloc is an adventure rock climbing sport where people scale the rock alone. The only protection is the water body present at the base of such steep cliffs. Majorca, the Spanish Balearic Island, is famous for this sport. 
  
Cancun is a renowned holiday destination which has excellent diving spots. Located near Cancun is Isla Mujeres which has a thrilling diving spot called the ’cave of the sleeping sharks.’ This enigmatic cave is the abode of sharks that stay still which are very unlikely of these marine creatures. Divers can get really close to watch these sharks.

Alanya, a costal town in Antalya region of turkey has caves which are supposed to heal certain respiratory diseases. These caves are some of the major tourist attractions of this town. Writing about caves brings to mind the caves of Majorca which are unique with varied formations. Coves del Drac located in Porto Cristo in Majorca has the credit of housing the world’s largest subterranean lake, Lake Martel, in it.
