Countless years of rainfall have worn away the soft limestone in many areas of Puerto Rico's bedrock. These "karst" formations feature narrow canyons and sinkholes, underground streams, and caverns. Delve beneath the earth and descend into the depths of Puerto Rico's enchanting Angels Cave and Camuy Cavern.

Angels Cave
This journey into the forest begins via a thrilling Tyrolean, followed by a 200-foot rappel into the enormous mouth of the Angeles Sinkhole. This is only the beginning! In Angels Cave's enormous chambers, you will witness the pristine clarity of natural pools and striking calcite formations, a gallery of speleological wonders. This is followed by a mudslide swish into the Camuy River where you float the currents through the river's imposing canyons. A once in a lifetime experience!

Camuy Cavern
There are only two other places in the world where you will find a cave system as massive or dramatic as the Ro 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.
The park is normally open Wednesday through Sunday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. The last tour departs at 3:30 p.m., or when the park reaches its daily capacity.
