What is the Caldera de Agua in Lanzarote?
The Caldera de Agua in Lanzarote is also known as the Cueva del Agua or La Olla. It is a hidden rock cave in which sea water seeps into, creating a natural pool of great depth. It is also about ten metres in diameter, making it one of the largest on the island. Thanks to this, it is one of the few natural pools in Lanzarote where you can dive.
Where is the Caldera del Agua?
The Caldera or Water Cave of Lanzarote is located in the town of Guatiza, in a secluded place between the urbanization of Los Cocoteros and Charco del Palo, so it is a fairly secluded and quiet place.
What is the best way to get there?
To get to the Caldera del Agua de Lanzarote all you have to do is follow the road to Charco del Palo and, before entering the municipality of Guatiza, take the turning to the right on Calle Faya, until you reach the area of Los Cocoteros.
From this point you have to follow the route on foot. In just 100 metres, along a narrow path, you will have reached the Cueva del Agua.

Tips for visiting the Caldera del Agua
When visiting the Caldera de Agua de Lanzarote, it is important that you follow the instructions below to make the experience as pleasant and safe as possible:
- When you reach the area of Los Cocoteros, you can leave the car at that point and continue on foot. There you will see the path that takes you to the Cueva del Agua.
- On the way to this place there is a descent that is not particularly comfortable, as the terrain is uneven and slippery. Wear suitable footwear and walk very carefully.
- The interior is full of boulders, marine flora and the occasional sea urchin, so it is essential that you wear suitable beach shoes.
- When the tide is high, the depth is deep enough to jump into the water from the top, but if you dare, do so with great caution!
- Take advantage of your visit to Caldera del Agua to visit other nearby attractions, such as the Cactus Garden (10 minutes by car) or Charco del Palo (less than 20 minutes by car).
For an adventurous plan around the island, discovering the Caldera de Agua de Lanzarote can be an excellent choice. But remember that if it is not as crowded as other spots, it is because it is an area that is difficult to access, so it is essential that you take precautions to make your visit as safe as possible.
