Pozo de Jacinto, Pit cave at Jobos Beach, Isabela, Puerto Rico
A natural limestone blowhole with a 30-foot depth connects to the Atlantic Ocean through an opening in the rocky coastal cliffs.
The cave received its name in the early 1900s after a local farmer named Jacinto who, according to records, fell into the pit with his cow.
Local tradition invites visitors to call Jacinto's name three times near the cave to summon the spirit of the farmer and his cow.
Access to the cave requires walking along an unmarked path from Jobos Beach parking lot, with careful attention to sharp rocks and unstable edges.
During high tides, water rushes through the underground tunnel, creating a natural fountain effect as waves shoot upward through the cave opening.
