São Vicente Caves, located on the north coast of the island of Madeira in Portugal, are a fascinating network of lava tubes formed approximately 890,000 years ago during a volcanic eruption. These geological formations offer visitors a unique glimpse into the island's volcanic past. The caves feature well-lit pathways and informative displays that guide guests through the underground passages, highlighting distinctive rock formations, stalactites, and stalagmites created by the cooling and solidification of molten lava.
