About This Attraction

Lanzarote Spain

Cueva de los Verdes is a fascinating volcanic cave located in Lanzarote, part of the Canary Islands. This unique geological formation was created by the eruption of La Corona Volcano around 3,000 to 4,500 years ago. Visitors can explore a portion of the extensive lava tube that extends over six kilometers long, with guided tours available to learn more about its history and formation. It is important to check Cueva de los Verdes opening hours before planning your visit to ensure you have ample time to enjoy the experience.

The interior of the cave is beautifully illuminated, showcasing its natural features such as intricate rock formations and expansive chambers. One of the highlights is a secret optical illusion that surprises many visitors during their tour. Additionally, the cave served as a refuge for locals during pirate raids in past centuries. The well-maintained paths and informative guides make it accessible for most visitors, providing both an educational and enjoyable outing for families and tourists alike.
