Bizarre Beauty! Incredible Abandoned Cave Park in Camuy, Puerto Rico, plus la Iglesia de Piedra
Cueva de Camuy We visit Camuy and stop at the Iglesia de Piedra before trying to find a cave that's supposed to be in the area. What we found was just bizarre and incredible! This cave apparently used to be part of a park with a pool and even go-carts and dinosaur children equipment that has since been abandoned to the elements. The cave is just amazing and huge. It feels almost like you're walking into the mouth of a shark! A strange and beautiful adventure!

Punta Guaniquilla Reserve Cabo Rojo -Hacienda Ruins, Lagoon, Hidden Pirate Cave & even a Speed Boat!
We had quite the adventure in Punta Guaniquilla Reserve in Cabo Rojo. I had no idea there was so much to be found here. I felt like Indiana Jones exploring this area. There are lost Hacienda Ruins called Hacienda La Romana, a cool boardwalk or tablado that crosses a marshland, a lagoon with jagged volcanic rocks, a bird sanctuary and Pirate Cofresi's famous cave.
When I entered the cave I felt even more that I was in some sort of movie set especially the way the light hit the wall in just a perfect way to illuminate a hidden tunnel with squeaking bats. We got lost on the rocks and then found ourselves in the Garden of Eden and a rainstorm. We ended the day at Buye with a special surprise boat ride. What an awesome day in Puerto Rico!
