Reserva Natural Cueva del Indio

The arches were otherworldly and the cave entrance was terrifying but well worth the risk, once inside there are a lot of wall markings with a rich history behind them. Went with a tour guide from the company “I work where you vacation PR” and it was definitely worth every penny especially with the transportation included from San Juan and when it came to entering the cave.

Stunning! We didn’t go through the main parking (to avoid the scammer charging) because we read helpful reviews on here before going. But, we did go in through an entrance that requires more rock climbing than anticipated. I’d recommend going in through the entrance that others have taken photos of and posted! Overall, this is one of my favorite places that we visited while in PR. Incredible views! Definitely wear sneakers/closed toe shoes and pack water on warm days.

Hello everyone, this is an absolutely beautiful place that’s a must-visit! The entrance is completely free. However, if you use the location labeled as Cueva del Indio on Google Maps, it may lead you to a spot where some private parties charge $10 per person, and there’s no protection for your car—especially if you’re traveling with a large family. To avoid this fee, search for "Cueva del Indio (Alternativa)" on Google Maps. This alternative location provides free roadside parking, and from there, you can take a short walk along the beach to enjoy the same breathtaking views. The spot is truly stunning and perfect for photography lovers. However, it’s not stroller-friendly, so you’ll need to carry young kids or toddlers uphill. Be sure to wear sturdy shoes, as the terrain can be challenging. Swimming here is not recommended. I can’t wait to visit this incredible place again! No restrooms. Overall you can spend couple of hours here easily with family

This is a must do. Park at Cueva del Indio (Alternativa) to avoid a parking fee. There are a few spots on the road for parking and the trail to the beach is right across the street. Wear shoes with good traction as you will be walking on lava rock. This place is beautiful, but be careful. Once at the beach turn left and head up the rock. Your adventure starts here. You can also turn right but I suggest you save that for later in case you get tired.

WOW! Just wow!! National treasure. One of my favorites. It costs $10 per person to get in. It has stunning views of the cliff and a cave. Petroglyphs inside the cave. Watch out for a sink hole 🕳️ while walking. A quick 1 hr sight seeing. Be very careful if you wear flip flops.

Ignore the scammer charging $10 per person. Park along the road earlier by the white trash can and wooden sign, and walk across for free. There’s a small well maintained wooden bridge. Be smart about safety. This isn’t a maintained area and if you’re climbing out on the rocks, you’re taking a risk. You cannot swim here. That’s a pretty good way to get destroyed. Beautiful crashing waves and scenery. Be smart and safe. This is a natural area and nature doesn’t care if you live or die. Use common sense and caution and also when crossing the road!

To go through the small cave opening to get into the actual huge cave is extremely dangerous. You have to hold yourself up between two walls and pray that you do not slide through the middle through the bottom. There is nothing safe about this.. all the YouTube videos showed us that it was just a small thing to do, but in all reality, someone could seriously die. I am not over exaggerating when you climb through make sure you wait two or three minutes to let your eyes dilate.. your flashlight will not work. Do not wear flip-flops. You need actual rock, climbing shoes. There are not holes marked out for your feet and hands. You just gotta pray that you make it through. There is nothing to catch you at the bottom and climbing out of it, I had to have people lift me up because I’m only5’2 and I wasn’t tall enough to reach anything. I think the petroglyphs got there because the people were stuck down there and had nothing else to do. lol. It is one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen, but what I do it again never I would not risk my life for this. The guy at the parking area told me that anytime someone puts a rope or a ladder. They destroy it because they don’t want to be responsible for when people get hurt. They say he put the ladder or rope there so he removes it so he’s not responsible.

Gorgeous views and overall unique experience. The climb into the cave was more intense than expected, we witnessed several people turn back after seeing the climb down into the cave. Definitely required some upper body strength and good footing- don’t attempt if you’re not confident. The water can be dangerous to swim
