Pomier Caves, Cave system near San Cristobal, Dominican Republic
The Pomier Caves consist of 55 interconnected caverns spanning 4000 square miles, with heights reaching 1200 feet and depths of 3300 feet.
German explorer Sir Robert Schomburgk first recorded the cave system in 1851, marking his discovery with engravings that remain visible on the rock surfaces.
The caves contain 6000 indigenous artworks, including drawings and carvings created by Taino people using charcoal mixed with animal fat to depict birds, fish, and human figures.
Visitors must register at the National Park Office and join a guided tour to access the five caves currently open to the public.
The natural humidity within the deep cave system maintains the preservation of thousands of prehistoric drawings dating back 2000 years.
