Cueva de los Verdes is a volcanic lava tube and show cave on the island of Lanzarote in the Canary Islands. It is a man-accessible section of a much larger subterranean tunnel formed by past volcanic eruptions.

Visitors walk a prepared, guided route through basalt passages, vaulted chambers and volcanic formations over an accessible distance of the tube. One notable interior space has been fitted as an auditorium used for musical and cultural events because of the cave’s natural acoustics.

The tube formed when fluid lava drained from a surface flow and left an underground tunnel; subsequent cooling and collapse created the caverns and passages visible today. The cave has been adapted for tourism with lighting, walkways and guided interpretation.

The cave system lies on northern Lanzarote, in the Canary Islands, in the volcanic terrain north of the island’s central ridge. It is reached from nearby coastal towns and is one of Lanzarote’s principal geological attractions.

• Origin and access: Formed by volcanic lava flows, the cave is one of the longest known lava tubes on Lanzarote and is operated as a show cave with a guided tour route through part of the system.

What to See#

• Lava tube system: Part of a long lava tube system on northern Lanzarote that extends several kilometres beneath the island; the full system connects to other lava features in the area.
• Underground auditorium: A large interior chamber adapted with seating and lighting for concerts and events, known for its acoustics and vaulted volcanic ceilings.
• Show cave route: The visitor route typically follows a prepared tourist section through basalt passages and decorated caverns, covering a short, accessible portion of the total tunnel.

Cueva de los Verdes is on the north coast of Lanzarote in the municipality of Haría. From Arrecife (the island’s main town and airport), drive or take a taxi northwest on the LZ-1/LZ-10 for about 30-40 minutes (roughly 30-35 km). There is on-site parking; organized tours and island bus services often include stops at Cueva de los Verdes and nearby Jameos del Agua.

• Join one of the timed guided tours - the cavern is only accessible with a guide and tours sell out on summer weekends.
• Wear a light jacket: interior temperatures are cool (around 18°C) and the walkways can be damp.
• Arrive early (first tour) to avoid the midday cruise-ship surge; the site is busiest 11:00-15:00.
