Along the way, teams will discover why Posidonia oceanica is so important to the waters of Ibiza and Formentera, which species find shelter in its underwater meadows, and the main threats facing this marine plant, which plays a vital role in Mediterranean biodiversity and beach protection.
The Ibiza & Formentera Preservation Scavenger Hunt offers participants an adventurous way to explore natural surroundings.
Organised in collaboration with Ibiza Blue Challenge, the activity requires no previous orienteering experience or special physical preparation. Teams will consist of two or three people, including at least one adult, and participants will be able to complete the course at their own pace, enjoying an experience where the main goal is to take part, explore and have fun.
The event will begin at 10:00 a.m., when the registration tent opens for participants to collect their race numbers and maps. Starting times will be flexible until 12:30 p.m., allowing each team to set off whenever they are ready. The course is expected to take approximately one to two hours to complete, and the event will finish at 2:00 p.m.
Completing the adventure will also come with rewards. All teams that successfully solve the clues and reach the finish line will receive a gift. In addition, the three fastest teams will each win a senalló, a traditional Balearic basket filled with local products, while several other prizes will be raffled among those who complete the course.
This fifth edition is also made possible thanks to the collaboration of Sant Josep Town Council and the support of various local businesses and organisations, including La Sirena, Eléctrica Marí, Fundación Julián Vilás Ferrer, Trasmapi, Ramat, Soul Water and Ibiza Nature.
