From San Juan: Explore Cueva del Indio & La Poza del Obispo Beach

Discover one of Puerto Rico’s most breathtaking natural and cultural landmarks: Cueva del Indio, located along the rugged northern coast in Arecibo. This sacred site features original Taíno petroglyphs carved into the cave walls centuries ago, offering a direct connection to the island’s indigenous heritage.

The Taino Cave is a site of significant spiritual and cultural importance for the Taíno people. It served as a gathering place where the Taínos congregated to worship their deities, which explains the high concentration of petroglyphs adorning its walls. These carvings depict human figures, animals, and abstract symbols, reflecting the rich spiritual life of the Taíno civilization utilized for religious and artistic activities by the Taínos (need to have good body mobility to fully enjoy the adventure). 

The adventure begins with a guided walk across dramatic limestone cliffs shaped by the wind and ocean. From the top, you’ll enjoy panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean and the famous natural rock arch — a stunning geological formation perfect for unforgettable photos.

If conditions allow, you’ll descend into the cave to see the ancient carvings up close and feel the mystical energy of this historic space. Along the way, you’ll have time to explore, take photos, and learn about the rich cultural history of Puerto Rico in a setting unlike any other.

Perfect for: History lovers, Hikers, nature enthusiasts, and anyone who loves epic views and cultural depth.
