Cueva Ventana sits atop a limestone cliff in Arecibo, Puerto Rico. This cave located in the town of Arecibo holds one of the most beautiful sights of the island. To reach the stunning view, there is a bit of a hike to get to the opening of the cave.

Did an early tour (90 min) and had a great time with our guide Misael. He did a wonderful job of doing everything in English and Spanish. Even if he spoke Spanish to others he would explain their question and tell us what he said in English. This was nice because it was usually about things we wanted to know as well. Learning about the caves and bats was good, but of course the “window” and photos with that were fantastic! He gave us plenty of time to take all the photos we wanted. Tips: wear closed shoes (uneven ground, rocks and stairs), hair a way that a hard hat will be comfortable, and take good camera.

I specifically wanted to visit here and planned a day around it. It is easy to do this along with the Cuevo del Indio and the Cueva de la Ventana if you plan it (I only half planned it and missed the Ventana because the tours were overbooked by the time I got there). If you come here by yourself and are not familiar with "island driving" on narrow roads where you have to be mindful all the time, often have to pull a little off the road to let oncoming traffic pass, etc., then the drive is going to be a little harrowing. There is no alternate route. If this doesn't sound like something you want to do, then I suggest using a tour company. Second thing - do the right thing and just put your phone in airplane mode before entering the observatory area. You can deal without getting texts for an hour, and since so many people use cameras on their phones it would be a shame if so many people ignored the rule not to talk or text that they had to ban all cell phones from the place. I really enjoyed my visit here, though I didn't really have a lot to learn in the "museum" area there are a few interactive displays that are really cool even if you already know the information, and the film about the construction and usage of the telescope is worth seeing. You get nice views of the dish and collector, and afterward you can watch James Bond Golden Eye, or the movie Contact and recognize things you were just looking at.
4. Cueva del Indio

Located at Arecibo, the Cueva del Indio is an area where the Taino Indians held tribal meetings and made numerous carvings in the walls of these natural limestone caves. To get to the impressive location there is a bit of a hike. Once you get through the trail, you will get to see multiple rock formations, in one of these formations lies the cave. To get to the cave there is a long wooden ladder at about 25 feet from the surface. Inside the cave you will be able to admire over 80 indigenous petroglyphs from our taino ancestors. these artifacts seem to date all the way back from 1200 to 1500 A.D. You will also be able to admire the beautiful ocean waves crashing on the rock formations. There is vast parking space and in the same location the attraction "Los siete arcos" is available.

These Caverns, Once inhabited by the original inhabitants of Puerto Rico, The Taino Indians. The Area is lava rock which is porous and jagged, Take your time walking up, The high winds and rough rock terrain can be treacherous is you are careless. I honestly wouldnt recommend you taking small children. There are caverns deep inside this rock formation that the Indians used as a home and have actual carvings by the tiano Indians themselves. But be careful there are treacherous holes located in various areas so be vigilant. Bring good hiking shoes, not sandals and have a open mind for a adventure. The views are Breathtaking and Beautiful. This is one of the best attractions I found in Puerto Rico and definitely worth a Visit.

Cueva Ventana means Window Cave. Take a hike to and through this cave (bring a flashlight!) for a view that is out of this world.

Such an amazing experience! I was expecting a rigorous hike to get up to the cave but it was actually a very doable downhill hike. We were able to see carvings made by the Taino people thousands of years ago and explore a cave before going through to the Window Cave. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable of the area, including the plants and animals to be found nearby. He pointed out bats on the ceiling of the cave and even a boa hiding in a hole! My daughter was excited to spy a Puerto Rican black racer snake after we left the caves. I highly recommend this excursion if you’re in the area

We kept trying to visit during high tide to see the crashing waves, but our schedule just did not permit. The area is absolutely gorgeous and the lighthouse towers above. It's a great location to spend the day with soft sandy beaches and those gorgeous rocks with the crashing waves.
