Having spent an entertaining couple of hours wandering around the Jameos del Agua, we then drive the mile-or-so up the road to the Cuevas los Verdes. The Cuevas los Verdes (Green Caves) are part of the Atlantida cave system that was formed by eruptions of the Corona volcano some 3,000 years ago.
The photo shows part of the main tunnel, which is around 50 feet wide and 50 feet high and, at over four miles long, is one of the longest known volcanic tunnels in the world. The last mile or so extends out under the sea, which means it's a) full of water, and b) not been fully explored yet.
Note that the caves are Green not because of their colour, but because the land they’re on used to be owned by the Green family.
