Island Caves and Formations

The Canary Islands feature a diverse range of volcanic and coastal caves shaped by ancient eruptions and Atlantic erosion. This collection includes Cueva del Viento, one of the world's longest lava tubes, and the fossil-rich Cueva del Llano, home to rare endemic species. From the thermal waters of Fuente Santa to archaeological sites and sea caves like Cueva de la Luz, these formations offer insights into the archipelago's unique geology and indigenous history.
