Cueva de los Verdes, Lanzarote

The Cueva de los Verdes is a unique formation of extraordinary scenic and volcanological value. Located in the north of the island, and integrated into the vast volcanic landscape of the Malpaís de la Corona, it is one of the wonders hidden in the bowels of Lanzarote, endowed with a mysterious and special mythological character.

The cave is almost 8 kilometres long, made up of a complex of tunnels and nooks and crannies with fascinating vaults and interior lagoons. Its visible section is made up of one kilometre of superimposed galleries with vertical interconnections, and inside it reaches up to fifty metres in height with widths of up to fifteen metres. © iStock/Jose Pascual Dominguez Munoz
