13. Caving
13 Tenerife No Limits Caving
Would you like to walk through a lava cave created over 27,000 years ago? On the island, there is a cave that comes from the vacuum formed when the outside of an enormous stretch of lava cooled much faster than the inside. It left a 17-kilometre hollow area inside the earth. That is how the longest volcanic tunnel in Europe was formed: Cueva del Viento (Cave of the Wind).
