Green Grotto Caves

The Green Grotto Caves extend through 1,500 feet of limestone formations featuring numerous stalactites, stalagmites, and mineral deposits created over thousands of years.

The caves served multiple purposes throughout history, from sheltering indigenous Taino people to becoming a refuge for enslaved individuals escaping plantations in the 18th century.

Local guides share stories about pirates who reportedly used these underground passages to store Spanish gold and provide refuge during conflicts in colonial times.

Guided tours lasting 45 minutes take visitors through illuminated passages, with stairs and handrails installed to ensure safe navigation of the cave system.

An underground lake with transparent water fills the lower chambers, creating mirror-like reflections of the limestone formations on its surface.
