The Cueva del Viento was created around 27,000 years ago by lava flows from the Pico Viejo volcano. A geological peculiarity are the galleries with lava falls, terraces and other volcanic formations on three levels.

Guided cave tour & helmet lamps

The approximately two and a half hour tour begins in the visitor center and leads over a lava field and an old Camino Real to the cave. The section visited has no artificial lighting, so participants are given helmets with lamps and explore it in groups of a maximum of 15 people.
