How to get to the Cueva de los 7 Lagos in Lanzarote?
Cueva de los 7 Lagos is located near Cueva de los Verdes and Jameos del Agua, on the road to Órzola. There are two ways to get there:
- Leave your car in the car park at Cueva de los Verdes and walk down the road to the first junction. Then take the road to the right.
- Leave the car on the main road (LZ1) at the entrance to Jameos del Agua (which is at the bottom), but be aware that there are only four parking spaces. Then go uphill and at the last widening take the road on the left.
Access to the cave is via the Jameo Perdido, a ten-metre-high vertical jameo, and an access ramp with a slightly unstable 45º slope. The route is easy at first, but then it becomes quite complicated, so only authorised personnel should enter the Cueva de los 7 Lagos, so stay outside and enjoy the scenery (this way you avoid the danger and the fine).
How long does it take to get to the Cueva de los 7 Lagos?
The route from the car to Cueva de los 7 Lagos is short and well signposted, so it won’t take you long to get there.
How difficult is the route to the Cueva de los 7 Lagos?
It is advisable, if you dare, to visit the Cueva de los 7 Lagos with a guide who knows this underground jewel in depth, as it is difficult to access and not adapted for visitors. Entering the cave requires a great deal of experience and diving equipment, which is why it was closed in 2012.
What is the best time of year to visit the Cueva de los 7 Lagos?
As it is not possible to visit the interior of the Cueva de los 7 Lagos, the best time to enjoy the surroundings is during the cooler months, such as spring and early autumn. This allows you to walk around in more comfortable temperatures.
What are the landscapes and views along the route?
The route to Cueva de los 7 Lagos offers you the characteristic volcanic landscape of the island of Lanzarote, so this activity is always recommended to enjoy nature.
But if you could enter the cave, what would you find? Hills that you have to climb up and down, very high galleries, crawlways and several lakes that you have to dive into, because you have to use speleodiving techniques to cross them.
Comments from visitors to the Cueva de los 7 Lagos
Those who have been lucky enough to visit the inside of the Cueva de los 7 Lagos Lakes say that it is a unique experience, with spectacular crystal clear lakes. However, until it is completely safe for everyone, you will not be able to discover its unique inner beauty.
