Cueva de Saturno, Natural cenote cave in Matanzas province, Cuba.
This natural sinkhole cave contains clear freshwater reaching depths of twenty meters and features extensive stalactite and stalagmite formations throughout its two main underground galleries accessible to visitors.
The cave originally formed as a dry cavern with air-filled chambers before becoming flooded over time, submerging its mineral formations at various levels and creating the water-filled cenote visible today.
Local residents have shared stories and legends about the cave's discovery and formation over generations, making it part of the regional folklore in the Matanzas province of Cuba.
The site opens daily from eight in the morning until six in the evening and charges an entrance fee of five United States dollars for visitors who wish to swim or snorkel.
The cave houses blind shrimp and fish species that have adapted to life in the dark subterranean waters, thriving in this isolated aquatic environment without natural sunlight.
