Cueva de Los Naturalistas or de Las Palomas, Volcanic cave and protected area in San Bartolomé, Spain.

The cave extends over 1640 meters with two main branches, featuring large vaults and numerous geological formations within its volcanic structure.

The cave formed during the Timanfaya volcanic eruptions between 1730 and 1736, when lava flows created this extensive underground network.

Scientists and researchers study this natural formation to understand volcanic processes and geological evolution in the Canary Islands region.

Visitors can access the cave through two entrances: the western Jameo Grande in Tinajo and the eastern Jameo Chico in San Bartolomé.

The cave contains specific volcanic formations including stafilites, cornices, lava terraces, and columns throughout its internal structure.
