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.
