Cueva del Viento, Lava tube cave system in Icod de los Vinos, Spain.
The Cueva del Viento extends through 18 kilometers of underground passages across three levels, featuring lava stalactites, terraces, and cascades in Tenerife.
The volcanic cavity formed 27,000 years ago from basaltic lava flows during the initial eruption phase of Pico Viejo volcano near Mount Teide.
The cave system contains archaeological evidence of Guanche presence from over 2,000 years ago, including ancient burial remains within its passages.
Visitors must purchase tickets in advance for guided tours lasting two hours, with appropriate footwear required and access restricted to children over five years old.
Scientists have identified 190 species in the cave system, including 44 troglobites adapted to darkness, with 15 species previously unknown to science.
