    I live in Dominican Republic and make a Domestic tourism every weekend but Cuevas Pomier was one of the best experiences I had! It’s 55 calcium caves, a millions years old each one, with caving drawing and huge labyrinth like path. So much fun! 💙💙 Guide was so knowledgeable, worked there for over 20 years, told us a lot of stories and Taínos information. Very nicely maintained area, sculptures of Taino, gift shop, parking, security...all good. Bat’s cave is just amazingly cool. We have time just for 2 caves so we’ll be back few more times to continue our experience. Also: don’t forget to stop and buy Banilejos mango 🥭 on your way back. Your trip wouldn’t be the same 😂

    Been to Dominican Republic 4 Times and this by far and away the best thing I’ve done these caves are stunning in their size and history. The Taino pictographs are amazing to look at how is this not a world unesco heritage site? I fear for this treasure with mining site that you have to drive through to get to it. In any other place in the world would be a highly visited and protected location. The guide was amazing and very knowledgeable but only spoke Spanish but the sights were beyond words. This is an Indiano Jones adventure. Please visit and look after your guides!

    Wonderful experience for adventurers. The trails are of easy to medium difficulty, a good place for birdwatching as well as bat and herpwatching

    A very huge national park and with lots of Historical arts and sculptures. Very beautiful and well taken care of. Well reserved park , thanks to Dominican Government for their great jobs about reserving and preserving all these parks. I love them and histories in this country. Come and visits.

    Die Höhlen sind schön, allerdings ist die Verpflichtung eines Guides unnötig und viel zu teuer. Zudem sollte für jede weitere Höhle extra bezahlt werden. Hinzu kommt, dass der Guide kein englisch spricht, die Führung bis auf das Zeigen bestimmter Stellen also nutzlos ist.

    I love caves, and have visited caves around the world. This has to be a near favorite. It was only 40 minutes of easy ride from Santo Domingo, so if you are in the city it is well worth renting a car to drive out there. The cave has an enormous collection of pictographs which help provide insight into Taino culture, often lacking in the historical records of this colonized island. Our tour guide was knowledgable, kindly about my halting Spanish, professional and personable, and knew the corrosponding Taino story and significance of each pictograph. The symbolism is also very evident, as the drawings are clear, especially as you go deeper into the caves. The floor has been well treated, and it is clean and easy to walk. A word to the wise, this place is in an impoverished area, and you’ll want to pack a lunch and make sure you have gas. You drive through a limestone quarry to get there and we wondered if we were lost during parts of the drive. Don’t be scared off. GPS isn’t lying. At the end of that dirt road is a true gem. Totally worth it.

    One of the best and most exciting experiences I ever had in my life! These sacred caves were used by the Native people of the Caribbean, the Taino and the Igneri, for thousands of years, and contain hundreds of petroglyphs which are so great to observe. The guides are very informative, kind and helpful, and do a great job in taking visitors and tourists to different caves, with detailed explanations. The area is suitable for families and children, with wide open spaces, meadows and woods. A place to relax also. So bad to see the limestone caves endangering the caves just out of the Anthropological Park! I do hope the government will protect the caves! Definitely a place I recommend to all, Dominicans and tourists alike!

    Remarkable! Knowledgeable guides (Spanish language only); extraordinary site. Be prepared for some adventurous spelunking.

    Underrated, have been there twice now. Lots of great Taino pictograms, our first guide was really knowledgeable and both times we were the only people there. First time it was my wife and I and we explored the caves. The second time we took my in-laws, my father had recently had knee surgery but was still able to see a lot as much of the main cave is paved and accessible.

    Gut begehbare Grotte mit Höhlenmalereien die 4000 Jahre alt sein sollen

    Great place, although it can use some improvements. Very educational, entertaining. The use of a guide is mandatory because it is a large area with many caves and nooks. Could easily get lost or injured.
