If Titou Gorge seems like a scene out of Pirates of the Caribbean, it’s because it is. In the second movie, Captain Jack and crew are escaping a tribe and fall into the gorge. Titou, which means “little throat,” was formed from volcanic lava that split open when it cooled, making a natural cave. Visitors can go inside the cave and swim through a series of rooms in the sparkling yet cold cave waters under the dappled light of a rainforest canopy. When it gets too cold, they can warm themselves in a natural hot spring just outside the entrance.
