Atlantic Ocean on the background Beatiful grass field in Camuy, Puerto Rico Vacas (Cows) en Vaqueria de Camuy Iglesia de Piedra Stone Church Camuy River National Park, (read our photo tips below if you are planning a trip). A unforgettable journey through a million years from mother nature. Over one million years ago, the Camuy River carved what is considered the third largest cave system in the world. Visitors board trolleys and will take them back in time through dense tropical vegetation all the way down of Clara Cave. The trolley also stops at the 650 feet (198 meters) wide Tres Pueblos (Three towns) sinkhole. Special platforms are available to allow visitors to view the river passing from one cave to another (almost 500 feet 135mts) below. The park is open from Wednesday to Sunday from 8:00 AM to 3:45 PM, the last trolley's trip departs at 2:00 PM and or when the park reaches full capacity (around 2500 visitors) There is also a picnic area to enjoy as well as a the Camuy River mine, there parents and kids will have the opportunity to sift and find semiprecious stones.

All tours are guided!   Fact: A 17 stories building could fit inside the cathedral like dome from La Clara Cave. Photo Tips for Camuy River Cave Park OK!, here are a few tips from us to bring home memories from this trip for years to come. First, depending on the photo gear you carry (bulky pro cameras, lenses, etc...), you'll be asked if your photos will be for commercial use. If so, make sure to make arrangements at the office before hand. Since these trips are totally guided, no chance or allowance for tripods is possible. If you are using a 35mm SLR camera (yes, the ones that you can interchange lenses like ours) make sure to bring at least ISO 800 speed film of your choice. ISO 1000 is also a better alternative if you are not planning to enlarge your pictures more than a 8'' x 10'' print(s). We brought a Nikon F-5 loaded with ISO 400 film because we were using a fast F1.4 lens wide open. Our Nikon D-100 digital body was set to ISO 800 though because we were using a F/2.8 lens. Since this cave complex is in dim artificial light, you won't be able to set up a tripod because once again, all tours are guided and you MUST follow your guide. Attempting to take a picture handheld with low ISO speed film, will result in blurry pictures, so we highly recommend fast ISO 800 or 1000 film. Using your camera's flash (we didn't use ours at all) inside the cave could spoil the mood from the spectacular lighting. Lenses to bring? Well, something wider than 28mm is preferable. We used a Nikkor 17-35mm F/2.8, Nikkor 50mm F/1.4, and our lovely 15mm Fisheye lens for the sinkhole shots and the How big they are? shot. Remember to include people in your pictures, they will give a sense of scale of this place. The guides will give just a few short breaks for pictures, so have your camera(s) handy. If you'd like to use the flash inside, we recommend to switch to the SLOW SYNC mode, otherwise your friends or family members will be against a dark background. Most digital, point and shoot and SLR's have this feature, if you didn't know, now you know it, so, dust your camera's manual and learn how to use this useful feature. Questions? Let us know here.
