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.
The pickups take too long. The excursion is worth it, but the pick-up time is very long from Costa Blanca, no matter how much the guide said that if we wanted to be picked up near our hotels, this was the only option.
Wonderful. The three places impressed me, I don’t know which one I liked most because they were all spectacular.
Incredible day trip. After doing the Timanfa excursion earlier in the week we decided to do this one to visit the rest of the island and it was as interesting as visiting the park
The best of Lanzarote. It was worth doing this tour in order to get to know the island’s most important places and to be able to appreciate them even more thanks to the guide’s explanations.
Spectacular sites.
Great tour. I loved Timanfaya, but Jameos and the Green Cave are on the same level.
Nothing bad to say, only compliments. The guides were nice to the entire group and the views were the best. A great day.
I didn’t like it as much as I thought I would. The area of the volcanoes is somewhat tiring, always seeing the same thing, and I think the price of the trip is a little expensive, but for children it’s very good.
Wonderful. We’ve been to Lanzarote more than 5 times and had visited Timanfaya National Park on several occasions, but we hadn’t been to the north of the island. We loved the Jameos del Agua and the Green Cave.
We had a unique day away from the beaches. Lanzarote is amazing; it has historical works of art, a rich culture, and delicious cuisine. It’s a treat.
