Rio Camuy Caves are open Wednesday to Sunday. It is worth the trip. Enjoy it. Then head downtown Lares for a nice ice cream made of flavors you could never imagine.

I was extremely disappointed. The cave itself was pretty cool, but the tour guide we had was obviously sick and tired of being a tour guide there. He obvisouly did it just for the paycheck. He had been there 25 years. He ran through motions and we were short changed on a lot of the above items. We didn't see a movie and we weren't taken to any sink hole. We were in and out of the cave in about 30 minutes. With the Tram ride we were back to our car within an hour of when the tour began. The only positive on the day was that it was extremely uncrowded. Our group had only 4 people in it including me and my wife. Maybe that is why the tour guide simply didn't care. Not that he wasn't nice. He was willing to take our picture, etc.....but to spend $33 for the two of us to park and walk through the cave, not to mention the 3 hours and $12 in tolls (round trip) it cost to get there from San Juan and I wouldn't do it again. If you like caves, it might be cool to visit, but don't go with super high expectations, I've been to far more impressive and interesting caves.

It felt so open and warm. We drank from the fountain of youth and I hope it works! haha The tour guide was awesome with a great personality. The funniest thing happened while we were there. Our tour guide takes us to the opening of the caves where the bats hang out. As he's telling us about the bats and how they sleep during the day about 5 flew out and flew around causing a little commotion. A few people were petrified but we thought it was funny and added to the experience. We got there about 9 and only had to wait for 30 min. I didn't think that was too bad. We drove from Ponce to get there. Thank goodness for GPS's because my print out from Google Maps and the roads we were on didn't match up. The ride was a little scary with the roads being so small and windy but it was nice to see the mountains and the cute houses along the way.

We had a great experience! We drove in from Dorado, a 2 hour drive! I called the morning before at around 8:00 am when they open. They suggested to be there early. We arrived on a Thursday at around 9:30 (it is hard to get 4 teenagers out of bed early :) We were the 4th car into the park. We had no line purchasing the tickets, but we did notice a big tour bus arrive just behind us. We waited about 15 minutes to ride down to the caves. The tour was great! Afterwards, we waited about 15 minutes for the tram to come and pick us up. We had a fabulous experience. Disney, eat your heart out! We went to the caves in July 2011. We had a great experience!

So we went to the Cave and it was so awsome... The drive there was scary due to the roads that the GPS told us to go, but on the way there the view was awsome and we got to see some water falls.

Unfortunately we didn't get to see the cave because it was full. Guard at the gate told us that you have to be here early to get in and told us to come back at 3 pm. But when I called at 3 pm the cave was closed due to rain. We drove from Fajardo so on the way back we stopped at the prime outlets in Barcelonetta. Please keep in mind cave will close if it rains. It was a bad experience for us. We went to see the cave on May 26, 2010. Unfortunately we didn’t get to see the cave because it was full.
