City/Region: Camuy. Well worth a day trip from San
Juan is the incredible 268-acre Camuy Cave Park, two hours
southwest of the city. The park is the site of miles of
subterranean caverns that were carved out of the limestone
by the Camuy River more than a million years ago. Only seven
miles (11km) of the caves have yet been fully explored, but
16 entrances have been discovered to what is believed to be
the world's largest cave network. Well-maintained walking
trails lead visitors down 200 feet (61m) into a fern-filled
ravine to explore the cathedral-like caverns. Guided tours
are available through one cave and two sinkholes, where you
will see stalactites, stalagmites and plenty of bats. The
caverns also contain a unique species of blindfish. The park
has picnic areas, walking trails, food outlets, an
exhibition hall and a souvenir shop.
