• Hato Caves
  In the days of slave trading, these caves became homes to some of the escaped slaves; who lived in them for many months at a time. The Arawak Indians used them during their existence here, because of the many wonderful drawings and petroglyphs that are on the cave walls everywhere. These are estimated to be over 1500 years old and are an exciting addition to the tours. Experienced guides are here to take you through the caves and explain the many highlights and stories that have come into existence because of the incredible shapes of the stalagmites and stalactites. Depending on the lighting, some of these have been called Sea Tortoise, Giant of Jack and the Beanstalk and Pirate's Head. A great time to see the caves and enjoy the coolness they bring.
