Description

Gruta do Carvão - Monumento Natural is a fascinating lava cave located on the outskirts of Ponta Delgada in the Azores.

Approximately 1,650 meters long, this unique lava tunnel delights with a variety of geological formations, including stalactites and stalagmites with conical shapes formed by the solidification of lava droplets.

The red and orange hues of the basalt rocks, formed by oxidation, create an amazing underground landscape. A guided tour allows you to discover the secrets of volcanism and the geological processes that shaped this remarkable natural monument.
