Los Hervideros

Where the sea boils through the lava

On the wild south-west coast, waves surge into a maze of lava caves and blowholes, sending spray booming up through the cliffs. A network of footpaths and tunnels carved into the rock lets you watch the Atlantic churn below. It is at its most dramatic on a windy day with a big swell.
