Sao Vicente Caves & Volcanism Centre

Formed by volcanic eruptions over 890,000 years ago, the Sao Vicente Caves are a network of underground lava tubes located beneath the north coast town of Sao Vicente on Madeira island. Visitors can follow pathways through the caverns, observing the rugged rocks and subterranean lakes. After exploring the caves, the adjacent Volcanism Centre offers educational audio-visual displays that provide insights into the geological processes that shaped this unique landscape.
