21. Lava Tunnels When lava flows the outer part of the stream gets cold and hardens, but the liquid magma within continues flowing. When it is empty tubes are left behind.

The most frequently visited is the "Tunnel of Endless Love", it is named this because of the heart shaped hole in the roof of it.

Due to the harsh conditions in which the prisoners lived and worked, this site is known as the Wall of Tears. A set of stairs provides an amazing view of the wall and the surrounding landscape.
