Clearly one of my favorite places in Puerto Rico. These place is the best example of what are caves made of. A land of limestone and spectacular views everywhere you look.
This cave dates back before the Spanish conquest. Apparently, the Taínos (Puertorican natives) used to gather here to hold ceremonies and, after the Spanish arrival, used it to escape the Spanish persecution. Located in Arecibo, this cave is a must-see in Puerto Rico. It has carvings (petroglyphs) on the rocks, made by Taínos.
If you are lucky, you can watch locals diving to the ocean from the rocks, in different parts of the place. It always brings confidence to those who would love to do it. You can also snorkel, or just explore the area.
Outside the cave, there's a hidden path on the right side, through the mangroves. If what you saw was beautiful, it gets better. A nice walk through this path offers you amazing views from over 100 feet from the ocean. This path leads you to a beautiful beach.
Arecibo is one of my favorite places. A cave at the beach, and from there, about 15 minutes away, you can find a beautiful waterfall, known as Charco Hondo, La Planta.
