Not as impressive as the larger cave close by but also nice

Really cool. This trail is not in the map but absolutely worth doing!

Really cool hike. Especially if you take the footpath from the end of the first parking space (there are two large signs)

The Cueva de las Maravillas (Cave of Wonders) is a fascinating destination that combines natural history with the heritage of the island's indigenous people. Here are a few additional details that make this place so special: Taíno Cultural Heritage The cave is particularly known for its petroglyphs and pictograms. There are hundreds of rock drawings left behind by the Taíno Indians. These artworks date back in part to before the arrival of Columbus and mostly depict human figures, animals, and abstract symbols. Impressive Geology * Depth: The cave lies approximately 25 meters underground. * Formations: There are impressive stalactites and stalagmites to admire, formed over millennia by calcareous water. * Lighting: A modern lighting system perfectly showcases the formations and drawings without damaging the delicate artwork with excessive heat or UV radiation. Infrastructure

The official German tour guide said that you should definitely not take the "gasoline barrel boat" to the back cave. He didn't give us any time to do that either... We went back later on our own and of course visited the back cave :D It was a bit shaky and adventurous, but it was definitely worth it. An absolute MUST! We felt like Indiana Jones. You have to see it!!

Iguana

There are also iguanas to see here

The Cueva del Chicho is one of the most important underground caves in the country. Located in the Cotubanamá National Park, the crystal clear aquamarine waters draw many visitors. There are also numerous petroglyphs attesting to the Taino presence at this site. You can dive in the fresh blue waters that resemble a lake. If you are a certified cave diver, you can go deep diving with licensed operators in Bayahibe or La Romana.
