I absolutely amazing view. Bring a flash light or use your phone flashlight it pretty pitch dark when you go in not a long walk at all to the opening of the cave. You will hear a lot of bats but they sleep during the day so your good. Fee is 4 bucks per person

This attraction was a bit of a drive from San Juan but the view was worth it. The trek up the cave was not bad. The cave itself was slippery. Bring a flashlight

This was way less touristy than Rio Camuy. You also hike there yourself and can take as long as you want for pictures. The bats inside are harmless and so cool to watch. We spend a long time watching them. The view out the back hole is amazing. Bring a flashlight and good gripping shoes. 15- 20 minute hike to... More

I had read about Cueva Ventana on Trip Advisor and knew I had to make the trip there from San Juan during my trip. Trust me, it will not disappoint. Plan on going to Cueva del Indio after your trip to spend the rest of the day. Getting there is pretty simple. Our GPS on our phones were acting funny,... More

Next to the entrance there is a large parking lot, a gas station and small snack bar next. There is small fee to get in, $5.00 and they also had flash lights that you can rent. The first part has steps but after that a dirt walk way or mud if it rain recently. We had mud. We did not... More

We were planning on seeing Camuy but saw the reviews and had second thoughts. The lady handling our rental in Arecibo suggested Cueva Ventana. My father-in-law went with us & he's 78 but in good shape. He had to take it easy but did OK. We all thought it was so cool climbing into the opening by rope, searching in... More

It was a little tricky to find and did not feature on the SatNav, so look out for the Texaco station right next door. The walk wasn't too taxing and neither was the section in the cave, although you will need a flashlight and sensible shoes. The climb into and out of the cave can be very slippery. The view... More

Take exit 75B on the #22 toll road. Go south on route 10 about 10 miles climbing up into the hills. At the 75km mark (look for the small distance markers by the road) you'll see a Texaco station. Right next to it is the entrance to the Cueva Ventana (cave of the window) and fenced parking lot. $5 entrance... More

We drove up from Ponce and had a nice visit. They now have a parking area and have built up the walkways and such a little. We got there early on a weekday so we were able to just walk on in on our own. Be sure to bring a light as a its dark inside - and mildly creepy... More
