Cueva del Viento
Europe's largest lava tube, with a guided tour through lava galleries formed over 27,000 years ago.
Cueva del Viento, in Icod de los Vinos (Tenerife), is a volcanic lava tube with 18.5 kilometres surveyed: the sixth longest in the world and the fifth in Europe, with countless branches still unexplored. It formed around 27,000 years ago in basaltic lavas from the first eruptive phase of the Pico Viejo volcano, next to Mount Teide.
The visit is guided and covers part of this labyrinthine network of underground passages. The starting point is the visitor centre at Calle Los Piquetes 51 in Icod de los Vinos.
