RIO CAMUY CAVE PARK
$483 For Up to 10 People

The extensive subterranean cave systems of Rio Camuy Cave Park is reported to be the largest in the western hemisphere. Until the recent completion of the expanded highway leading west to Camuy, the driving distance discouraged many from seeing this remarkable cave system.

Today a drive of approximately one hour and forty-five minutes from San Juan takes you past lush landscape, pineapple farms and jagged eroded limestone cliffs as you near the area of this massive subterranean wonderland.

Your visit to the park begins with a short video as you wait to board the open air trolleys, which twist and turn their way through the road carved out of verdant foliage before reaching the moss- lined entrance to the cave. After this ten minute trolley ride, multilingual cave guides will escort you on foot through the enormous cave, 200 feet high and a half mile long. A large opening at one end of the cave allows light to filter through part of the cave, creating beautiful photographic opportunities. From this opening you will see one of the many sink holes carved out by the Camuy river, the world's third largest underground river. As you walk through the interior of the cave, passing stalagmites and stalactites, you will experience the eerie illusion of timeless steps in the earth's creation. You will be exploring the caves for one hour.
