Taíno caves Punta Cana for history-curious travellers and photographers
The east of the Dominican Republic hides dozens of Taíno caves once used by the island's indigenous people for shelter and ceremony. The four worth visiting near Punta Cana: Cueva Fun Fun (Hato Mayor, biggest — full-day adventure), Cueva de los Indios (near Boca de Yuma, ancient pictographs), Cueva Maravillas (San Pedro, walkable and lit), and the ceremonial caves inside Scape Park. Guide covers difficulty, tour options, guides who know the pictograph history, and what to combine each with.
