Park nacional cueva de las maravillas, Underground cave system in San Pedro de Macorís, Dominican Republic.
The cave extends for 800 meters underground, featuring numerous stalactites, stalagmites, and an artificial lake that reflects the cave ceiling.
Local farmers discovered the cave in 1926 while searching for water sources, leading to its official opening as a tourist destination in 1949.
The cave walls display over 500 Taino Indian pictographs depicting human figures, owls, snakes, and iguanas, representing ancient funeral rituals.
Tours last 45 minutes with guides speaking English, French, and Spanish, while an elevator and accessible ramps ensure comfortable navigation throughout the cave.
The Grand Panel section contains the largest collection of indigenous artwork, complemented by a special lighting system that enhances the cave formations.
