Cueva de los Verdes is a volcanic cave on the LZ-205 near Haría, formed by eruptions of the La Corona volcanic system. A guided walk takes you through lava galleries and chambers, where carefully placed lighting brings out the rock’s colours and textures. Look for reflections in the water and listen as your guide explains how the cave formed. The route includes uneven steps, low ceilings and narrow sections, so sturdy shoes and comfort with confined spaces will help you enjoy the visit.
A route through volcanic rock
Cueva de los Verdes is part of the lava tube created by eruptions of the La Corona volcanic system around 4,000 years ago. The cave system extends for several kilometres, but visitors follow a guided route through a section of it.
The route passes through galleries and chambers beneath the surface. Lighting brings out natural variations in the rock, and water reflections add another detail to watch for along the way. The cave’s auditorium is also used for special events, including concerts.
What to expect on the walk
The visit is guided, with explanations of the cave’s formation and geological features. The route includes uneven steps, narrow passages and places where the ceiling is low enough to require bending or walking with your knees bent. Sturdy shoes are practical for the terrain.
If confined spaces make you uncomfortable, consider whether this underground walk is right for you. Booking ahead is recommended, and arriving 15 to 30 minutes before the scheduled tour gives you time to be ready for your start.
