RÍO CAMUY CAVE PARK

This is one of the high places of Puerto Rican tourism: the caves of the Camuy River. You get there early in the morning as a good idea because the visit is made in small groups, formed as visitors arrive. If all the conditions are met for the site to offer all its attractions, then take 3 hours to turn it around. The visit begins with the screening of a small film documenting the history of the reserve. It was in the 1960 s that speleologists had established the caves map for the first time. Then a small bus leads to the cave named Clara de Graneros. In addition to the numerous stalagmites there, the caves have a large population of bats. You may be surprised by the Camuy underground river if you haven't seen it yet. Next, you can take the Tres Pueblos trail to the Cueva Catedral. According to the guides, it houses 42 petroglyphs, these Aboriginal drawings engraved in the rock. A geological marvel that you will not miss if you stay in the region. A small board, caves are necessarily wet and a little slippery, wearing a imperméable and adapted footwear will probably be more comfortable for the visit. Finally, we strongly advise you to call the park offices before you go, the caves are not always open. The site is easily accessible by Highway 129, approximately kilometres south-west of Arecibo.
