Cueva del Viento
One of Europe's longest lava tubes, about 18 km in total length, with a guided tour taking visitors into one section to see the structure of the lava tubes.
Cueva del Viento lies above Icod. It is a lava tube formed by ancient eruptions of the Teide volcano, with a measured total length of about 18 km, making it one of Europe's longest volcanic lava caves. Visits require joining an officially booked small-group tour, which lasts about 2 hours and includes a surface briefing and about 200 metres of walking inside the cave. Helmets must be worn. Tickets cost about 20 euros and must be booked in advance on the official website. Wear non-slip shoes, as the cave is quite dark.
