Camuy River Caverns

(787) 898-3100

There are only two other places in the world where you will find a cave system as massive or dramatic as the Río Camuy Cave Park -- and neither of them has a tropical underground river thundering through it!

Only a small part of the complex is open to the public: three crater-like sinkholes and two caves… but what a spectacular part it is! Visitors ride a trolley that descends into a sinkhole lined with dense tropical vegetation while a guide describes the sights. After a walk across ramps and bridges and through the dramatically illuminated, 170-foot high Cueva Clara, another tram shuttles you to a platform overlooking the 400 foot deep Tres Pueblos Sinkhole.

Another attraction is the Spiral Sinkhole and Cave. You can walk the 205 steps down into the sinkhole, but the cave itself is off limits to all but experienced spelunkers. The sinkhole is believed to have once been an enormous cavern, and is indeed an impressive sight. Cathedral cave is home to an enigmatic collection of petroglyphs etched into the walls by the ancient Taínos.

The 268-acre grounds include a cafeteria, picnic area, gift shop, walking trails, exhibition hall, and theater. Advanced cave explorers can arrange for special tours and rappelling trips through undeveloped sections of the caves.

"You cannot miss this!"

User Comments: The Camuy River Caverns is one of the places you cannot miss while in Puerto Rico! The views are impressive. The facilities are not bad, but bear in mind this place tends to get crowded! Get there early so that you don't get there and find gates closed. And early we mean 8:30AM THERE TOPS.
