The fifth largest volcanic tube in the world and the largest in Europe. Guided tour only:

The Cueva del Viento volcanic tube is located in the eponymous district of Icod de los Vinos. It was formed 27,000 years ago from basalt lava from the first eruption phase of the Pico Viejo volcano, next to Mount Teide.

The Spanish name of the volcano tube comes from the remarkable air currents inside. With its considerable length (18 kilometers have been recorded topographically so far), the Cueva del Viento is in fifth place in the world, right after the first four longest tubes, all of which are located on the largest Hawaiian island (USA). The volcano tube consists of a huge, network-like labyrinth of underground passages. Numerous branches remain unexplored and indicate a considerable expansion of the cave complex.
