Located between La Romana and Santo Domingo the Cueva de las Maravillas is an enormous underground cave system believed to be over 100,000 years old. About 240m of the cave is open to the public (the remaining part of the cave is an important bat habitat) and has been expertly lit so that you can admire the wonderful collection of stalactites, stalagmites, columns, and pisoliths. There is clear evidence that the cave was once inhabited by ancient native Taino Indians who left a wealth of pictographs for future generations to admire. There is easy access to the cave via ramps, a concrete pathway, and an elevator. You’ll also find a small museum and gift shop.
