Llano Cave

The Interpretation Centre of the Cueva del Llano is located north of Villaverde, in the municipality of La Oliva.
It is very educational and I recommend a visit.

This cave is a "Jameo" (volcanic tube) that has been filled by large amounts of sediment for thousands of years, which has been a rich fossil record that helps us know how the climate in Fuerteventura in ancient times.
Before accessing the cave on a visit with a guide who explains masterfully geology of Fuerteventura, you should see the exhibit outside of the building, where you can find very educational and entertaining insight into the formation of Fuerteventura, on the fauna of the island, and a clear explanation of how the cave was formed to visit below.
The visit to the cave itself is not "spectacular" (has nothing to do for example with the Cueva de los Verdes (GREENS CAVE), in neighboring Lanzarote), but within its category and the tour guide, the visit is enjoyable and short.

Curiously, one can note that in this cave is a cave dweller: the Maioreus randoi, a kind of small spider that is not anywhere in the world except in this cave.

The Interpretation Centre Cave Llano is open Tuesday to Saturday from 10.00 to 18.00.
