An authentic, off-the-beaten-path stop in the Dominican South where pre-Columbian history comes alive among stalactites and millennia-old silence.

A karst cavity in Loma de Estebanía that served the Taíno as a ceremonial shelter. Its petroglyphs and lithic remains bear witness to pre-Columbian occupation.
