La Cueva de los Verdes

Back to Lanzarote Attractions

La Cueva de los Verdes or Green Caves are an underground Cave system formed some 3000 years ago during the eruptions of Monte Corona. Over 6 km long La Cueva de los Verdes is the longest Volcanic Tunnel in the World, however only about 2 km are open to the public.

The cave measures more than 15 meters wide and 15 m high. The lowest part of the cave is used occasionally as a concert hall.

La Cueva de los Verdes forms part of the lava flow which originated from the eruption of the volcano of La Corona, and which advanced underground while the surface solidified.

In 1964, Jesus Soto transformed almost two kilometres of caves, respecting to the utmost its structure and limiting the changes to the installation of a magnificent system of lighting that enhances this natural phenomena, highlighting in all its splendour the hues of the cave walls.

Gentle ambient music accompanies this spectacle, converting this tourist centre into one of the most beautiful. Inside the cave an auditorium has been installed, the second venue of the Visual Music Festival of Lanzarote.

  • Opening Hours: 10.00 - 18.00 (Final Admission 17.00)
