Lava Tunnels

0
(0)
The Lava Tunnels of the Galápagos Islands are natural underground formations created by flowing volcanic lava. These tunnels formed when the surface of a lava flow cooled and hardened while molten lava continued to move beneath. Visitors can walk through sections of these lava tunnels to better understand the volcanic history of the islands. They offer a unique geological experience combined with a cool, shaded environment.
