Cueva de Las Palomas

The volcanic cave extends through the terrain with a width of approximately 10 feet, displaying characteristic formations of hardened lava throughout its length.

The natural monument received official protection status in 1987, marking a significant step in preserving geological formations in the Canary Islands region.

Local inhabitants refer to the structure as Tubo Volcánico de Todoque, connecting the geological formation to the regional identity of La Palma.

Visitors can access the cave exclusively through scheduled guided tours, with reservations available at the dedicated visitor center or through online booking systems.

The cave interior contains a large cavern formed by a gas explosion, where moisture gradually transforms the sharp surfaces into smoother textures.
