Speleology in Lanzarote is an exciting activity for adventurers who want to explore the underground caves and caverns found on the island. The great volcanic activity that has taken place on the island throughout its history has created numerous caves as a result of the flow of lava, among them the most famous and adapted to be easily visited are the Cueva de Los Verdes or the Jameos del Agua, as well as the Tunel de la Atlantida, which with its 7.5 km turns out to be one of the longest in the world. However, many others are still preserved in their primitive state, waiting to be visited: The Cueva de los Naturalistas and the Cueva de las Palomas.
These caves were formed thousands of years ago during volcanic eruptions, offering an impressive view of the island's geology. In ancient times they were known and used by the ancient settlers as a dwelling or as a refuge from pirate invasions. Nowadays, it is a unique opportunity to discover the powerful force of a volcano from the depths of the earth.
