About the Cueva del Viento

Cueva del Viento, also known as the Wind Cave, is a lava tube cave formed by volcanic activity and is considered one of the largest lava tubes in the world, with a total length of over 17 kilometers.

The cave is named after the strong winds that blow through its passages, which can reach speeds of up to 90 km/h. The cave was formed approximately 27,000 years ago by a series of volcanic eruptions, and it is still being explored and studied by scientists today.

The tours are led by knowledgeable guides who provide insight into the geological formations and the unique flora and fauna found within the cave.
