The Caves of Los Haitises

Los Haitises holds hundreds of ancient Taíno petroglyphs and pictographs inside its massive sea caves.

The park's limestone karst hills contain caves created by centuries of water erosion. Indigenous Taíno people used these caverns 500 to 1,000 years ago.

Today, visitors view well-preserved cave art and large stalactites. A licensed park guide is mandatory to enter, and flash photography is prohibited to protect the drawings.
