9 out of 14 - Cueva de Los Verdes, Spain

Lenght: 6 km. Deepness: 35 meters.

As a result of the volcanic activity, the cave Cueva-de-los-Verdes has formed on Lanzarote Island. Their length is more than 6 km, and the depth reaches 35 meters. The cave was formed more than 5000 years after the eruption of the Corona volcano. The frozen lava has created the incredible beautiful landscapes in the underground vaults, which attract the many tourists.

Cueva de Los Verdes is one of the largest volcanic caves in the world and is considered one of the most convenient for tourists. Thanks to the unique microclimate, the air temperature in the cave remains unchanged throughout the year and forms about 19 degrees. The tourists are able to descend into the cave through the natural entrance, which is located on the Malapis Lawa plateau. More than 1 000 meters of the tunnels are accessible for the hikes.

These passages are equipped with the excellent lighting system. On the banks of one of the underground lakes was the tiny nice restaurant. Among the greatest secrets of the volcanic cave are the blind albino crabs, which usually dwell in the caves on the very great depth. The walk through the cave will definitely please the followers of the nerve kitzel. The itinerary stretches through the dangerous narrow passages and the edge of the slope. It is also necessary to mention the unique acoustic properties of the cave caused by the porous structure of their walls. On the upper level of the cave was the concert hall, where the performances are regularly performed.
