Description Caves: Cueva del Indio, Pinar del Rio. Cuba
Cueva del Indio (Cave of the Indian), crossed by the San Juan River (navigable), and the cave of Juan Miguel, both of them located nearby. As well as the system of caves known as Santo Tomás, which has more than 45 kilometers of galleries buried under the close Sierra de Quemados, constitute places with an undoubtable value in a natural space that seems to have been conceived for walks on ecotouristic pathways.

Because of the richness, variety and excellent preservation of its flora and fauna, Pinar del Río is called "the garden of Cuba." UNESCO has declared the Guanahacabibes Peninsula and the Rosario Mountain Range biosphere reserves, and the Viñales Valley a world cultural heritage. The land in which the world's best tobacco is grown also offers you wonderful opportunities for scuba diving, hunting, fishing or simply relaxing and tanning at the beach.,
Since the 19th century, Havana residents have been drawn by the natural beauty of Vueltabajo, and they have flocked to Los Portales Cave, to San Diego de los Baños, to receive the benefits of its mineral-medicinal and thermal waters; and to the Viñales Valley, to gaze at its natural beauty.,
Pinar del Río is just 174 km (108 miles) from Havana. A good highway links the two cities. The architecture in its historic center is eclectic, and its low houses in gentle colors, whose porches seem to form an endless gallery, have great charm. On the outskirts of the city, modern buildings break its horizontal lines. ,
When visiting Pinar del Río's provincial capital, be sure to tour the Guayabita del Pinar Distillery, where the drink of the same name is still made by hand, following an age-old recipe; the Guash Palace, the Milanés Theater and the Rumayor Cabaret.,
Quiet, comfortable hotels have been built in some of the most beautiful spots in Pinar del Río, to facilitate your enjoyment of Nature. Cayo Levisa has a delightful, sunny beach, and the province also offer excellent opportunities for scuba diving, hunting and fishing. - Your first-hand experiences really help other travelers. Thanks!

Review about Caves: Cueva del Indio

NelsonGood
The Cueva the Indio is a cave in which you can sail of over a small underground river for about 400 meters. Nice artificial lamps and souvenir salesmen. Exploring caves to the tune of haunting tales It was here that the Guanajatabey Indians built their primitive homes in caves hollowed out of the limestone mogotes, where relics of this nomadic people have been found along with fossils of Pleistocene mammals embedded in the rock. Deep inside the caves, albino fish swim and butterfly bats flit. Some caverns, such as the Cueva del Indio, rediscovered in 1920, have close to four kilometres of underground streams which can be explored in a small dinghy so long as you don't mind listening to all the scary tales the peasant guides love to recount. As the streams slowly work through the limestone and mix with the mojote clay falling from above, they become solutions of minerals and coppery earth, both of which are then deposited on the roofs and walls of the caves, turning the surfaces ochre milky green, rendering the scenery all the more mysterious. -

It is justr an average cave, the stalactites and stalagmites are not very spectacular. The visit is very short. -

AidaPus“Nice enough cave, probably great for children ”
I did this cave right after visiting Cueva Santa Tomas, and was probably painted from that. The cave is nice enough, but very touristy. There are some sort of indians playing music at the entrance. If you take their picture, you are expected to put some cuc in their basket. The ground inside is paved. Probably ok for people with... More -

A short walk through the grounds/gardens brings you to approx. 20 or so narrows stones steps up into the cave area.....Then meander on down through the caves to see the stalagmites and bats flying around...we then had a short boat ride, which was nothing real special, but pleasant enough. Usual little shop and drinks area on leaving the cave... -

Jorge60“Ok if you have some time to spend in Viñales (5 CUC) ”
Nice small cave with a short boat trip at the end. Nothing exceptional but still interesting. One can get here with the tour bus in town (5 CUC per day - hop on/off). Restaurant & souvenirs at the end as everywhere else in Viñales... Be aware, the drink they "offer" you outside just before you enter the cave costs 2... More -

Danny S“A nice cave, in you are in the vicinity ”
This cave is nice to see, but it's just like many caves of this type; it also has a river running through it, so after some walking you get into a boat for the rest of the visit. It's worth a visit if you are in the area, but it's not a "must". -

MStJB“Watch out for the snake! ”
Just outside of Venales, these caves are worth a visit, particularly if you are on a day tour as we were from Havana. A short walk through the caves brings you to an underground river where at regular intervals a motorboat pulls up and takes you on a ten minute tour of this underground limestone marvel. Can never remember if... More -

Take time to look around the cave. It is outstanding in terms of size and shapes. At the end of the route you will find the boats that will take you further in the caves and then drop you outside the cave. Once you are outside out of the boat you are at the exit end so take your time... More -

It is a really nice and interesting place to visit. The walk through the cave and the final short boat trip give you a nice impression and compared to other attractions its worth the money you pay for admission. -

If you are in the neighbourhood of Viñales - the Cueva del Indio is a worthwhile attraction for a stop / visit. We drove all the way up from Varadero which was a very long trip - but we enjoyed the area of Viñales - Pinar del Rio. The visit in the Cueva takes around 20 - 25 min There... More -

We walked on foot in this cave then went on ride in motor-boat for about 20 minutes. Stalagmites were hanging from the rock formations, simply fascinating to observe. A pleasant experience.
