The visit to Cueva de los Verdes is always guided and lasts approximately 50 minutes. The route is one kilometre long, and groups are accompanied by a guide who explains the geological formation and the history of the site. It is a steady pace suitable for most visitors.

Cueva de los Verdes is part of the impressive Tunnel of Atlantis, one of the longest volcanic tubes in the world, formed by eruptions from La Corona Volcano around 5,000 years ago. Historically, it served as a refuge for the inhabitants of Lanzarote during pirate attacks. In addition, its adaptation for tourism by César Manrique and Jesús Soto turned it into an artistic and geological jewel.

To avoid the biggest crowds, I suggest visiting Cueva de los Verdes early in the morning (right when it opens, around 10:00) or late in the afternoon (after 15:30). As for the time of year, the low-season months (November, December, and from February to May, excluding Easter Week) are usually quieter. Avoid summer weekends if you can.

Unfortunately, Cueva de los Verdes is not accessible for people with reduced mobility, wheelchairs, or baby strollers. The route is narrow in some areas, with steps and steep uneven sections, which makes movement difficult. Comfortable, secure footwear is recommended.

Quite a lot! Cueva de los Verdes is in a privileged location. Right next door is Jameos del Agua, another wonder designed by César Manrique and another section of the same volcanic tube. Very nearby, you can also visit the Mirador del Río with spectacular views of La Graciosa, or the incredible Cactus Garden.

Of course! Wear comfortable, closed shoes, as the ground can be uneven and slippery. Although the temperature inside the cave is constant and pleasant, a light jacket is a good idea. Also, remember that it is essential to follow your guide’s instructions at all times, and do not forget to pay attention to the cave’s 'secret'... it will surprise you!
