A part of the lava tube system between the volcano La Corona and the sea. With more than 7 kilometer leghth it is one of the longest lava tubes in the world.
One of the galleries has been turned into a concert hall.
Of particular interest for biologists is the Langostino Blanco, a lobster of white color which is perfectly adapted to the conditions of life in those caves. This species is endemic, which means that it exists exclusively here!
In the past the inhabitants of Lanzarote used to hide up from pirates here. For invaders the Cueva de los Verdes frequently was a deadly trap.
