He Council of Tenerife has started talks with the City Council of Icod de los Vinos to buy the property where the Cueva del Viento visitor center is located. This was pointed out by the Island Councilor for Museums, Concepción Rivero, after a meeting with the mayor of Icod de los Vinos, Francis González, about this volcanic cavity of the icodense municipality that was formed 27,000 years ago with lavas from the first eruptive phase of the Pico Viejo volcano, next to Teide.

During the meeting held at the Icod City Council headquarters, Concepción Rivero stated that the acquisition of the municipal property where the visitor center is located “It would serve to expand the provision, increase the quality of the services and improve the experience offered to the visitor”. And it is the Cave of the Wind, the sixth longest volcanic tube in the world and the largest in Europeallows visits in a part of its surface.

The island councilor highlighted “the value of the Cueva del Viento both for its condition as a natural space and for the attraction it presents for visitors.” In the last quarter it was visited by 24,368 people on 1,773 routeswhich represents an average occupancy level of 91.63%.

The manager of the Autonomous Organization of Museums, Carlos González, who was also at the meeting at the City Hall, added about these improvements “the geological and geotechnical study projects on security inside the cave, the 3D scanning of the section visitable and the scientific importance of the results provided by studies on radon gas to the scientific community worldwide.
