What To Expect

Los Tres Ojos National Park is a beautiful natural respite near the city, and where you can observe the underground caverns of the Tainos that were once used as a refuge or place of ritual. A staircase leads to a series of caves, with paths that embrace three freshwater lagoons, blue and iridescent, or "eyes" as the Tainos used to call them because of their oval shapes. A fourth lagoon is accessible via a small wooden barge, which reveals a magnificent outdoor landscape with rock formations covered in lush vegetation. Keep an eye out for petroglyphs and handmade pottery.
