Un bonito sitio para un pequeño pasadias. Visita turística y cultural para conocer un poquito más la historia Taina de Quisqueya.

It is mandatory to be accompanied by a guide. If you arrive just when the guide has left with a group, you will have to wait about 30 minutes. The brilliant cave, full of columns, stalactites and stalagmites
