Las Cuevas De Maquez, Volcanic cave system in Lanzarote, Spain
The complex network of Las Cuevas De Maquez extends through multiple underground passages formed by ancient lava flows from Monte Corona volcano.
The cave system developed approximately 3,000 years ago when volcanic activity created tunnels as molten lava moved beneath the solidified surface crust.
The cave network represents a significant geological formation that demonstrates the natural processes that shaped the Canary Islands landscape over millennia.
Visitors need to wear sturdy shoes and long pants while exploring the cave system, and advance reservations are necessary for guided tours.
The cave contains multiple levels of passages, including sections that extend below sea level, forming part of the extensive Tunnel de la Atlantida.
