Explore the deep limestone caverns of Parque Nacional de las Cavernas del Rio Camuy, carved out of the earth by the third largest subterranean river in the world, the Rio Camuy. Although 16 km (10 mi) of caverns--with 220 caves and 17 entrances--have been mapped, experts believe this makes up only a tiny fraction of the gigantic system as a whole. Consider taking a tour of the main caves and visiting the other open areas around the park, including a massive 213 m (700 ft) sinkhole. You might not find hiking through the caves too strenuous, but it's worth wearing sturdy shoes nonetheless. Don’t forget your camera and your bug spray.

Bring a flashlight! This was a wonderful experience, but Hurricane Maria wiped out all the lights inside. There is no illumination inside the cave except for cell phone light. It is dark and slippery. Not recommended if you have any fear of darkness. Also, the trolley is not functioning. There is a 20 minute walk to and from the cave. I would recommend for older children (above 7) and physically fit adults. We brought a 10 year old, 13 year old and 16 year old. They loved the caves, but the 10 year old had a hard time walking back. The cave spiders were amazing to see! Our tour guide was great… fluent in both Spanish and English.

Incredible stalactites and stalagmites, the cave is huge, and the scenery is prehistoric. There are no longer any trams so, you walk down with the guide, then walk the steep hills to get back up. You need to make a reservation these days. Lots of people showed up without a reservation and couldn't get in. Also, make sure you arrive at least 30 minutes before your reservation time, if you miss your tour, you're likely not going get in because they are usually booked up. It's definitely worth it to visit this place.
