FAQs about the Green Cave
Cueva de los Verdes Tour
Visiting La Cueva de los Verdes is a must among the Lanzarote cave tours.
La Cueva de los Verdes is located in northern Lanzarote in the municipality of Haria, and in summary it can be defined as a volcanic tube that formed after the eruptions of the nearby Corona Volcano. It’s not known for sure when the eruption happened, but it is estimated to have occurred between 3,000 and 5,000 years ago.
The result of that episode was the creation of this volcanic tube, which is 6 kilometres long and goes right to the ocean waters, and is even submerged in the sea in the so-called Tunnel of Atlantis. In short, inside this volcanic tube is La Cueva de los Verdes, as well as one of Lanzarote’s other icons, the Jameos del Agua. For this reason, we recommend you to combine these places with a Timanfaya National Park tour.
Touring La Cueva de los Verdes is a true adventure that brings tourists right inside the Earth. In total, a length of about one kilometre can be toured, taking you through underground galleries that are surprisingly connected to it, sometimes three stories high. While visiting its interior, it’s understandable why the people of Lanzarote used to seek refuge in La Cueva de los Verdes whenever pirates decided to invade the island.
This labyrinth of caverns is truly fascinating, especially where it reaches heights of up to 50 metres and passages around 15 metres high. And throughout these passages, different geological and volcanic forms can be discovered, like the different layers of lava and a series of spectacular colours that cover a wide spectrum of reddish and ochre tones.
And everything can be visited at a constant temperature of around 19 degrees centigrade, which means it’s advisable to wear a lightweight jacket for your visit. It’s also important to wear appropriate close-toed shows, since it is a natural cave with rugged footing.
Spectacular sites.
Fantastic tour. We came on a cruise and already knew Timanfaya, so this short tour fit our schedule well, and we enjoyed the entire tour. Good organization, punctual pick-up, and a fantastic guide.
Perfect if you’re not going for the food. The excursion is a 10 but I think that the food, although it is optional, could be a little better.
Perfect. The views are lovely, as are the works of this artist. I highly recommend it.
We loved it. This excursion along with the visit to Timanfaya are mandatory if you really want to get to know Lanzarote
It’s worth it. For a little more than the cost of tickets to Jameos and the Cueva when going on your own, you save the queues to enter and avoid all problems. The hotel pick-up was punctual, and the guide and driver were a 5 out of 5 stars.
First we went to the great monument in his honour, then to an immense valley with some stupendous views, to the lookout where you can see the island La Graciosa, Jameos and the Green Caves, and finally we ended up in the Cactus Garden. All works of this great artist.
Worth it. I went with my husband and two teenage children, and I didn’t want to do a full-day tour to avoid tiring them too much. We booked the Timanfaya tour separately from this one so it wouldn’t be too burdensome for the kids and to give us time in both tours to have breakfast and lunch at the hotel.
The island’s most characteristic places in a day. A great opportunity.
