Description
The coastline just east of Cueva Del Indio, in the municipality of Arecibo, is the premier deep-water soloing destination on the island. The cave is unique in that it's covered in Taino petroglyphs. Impressive overhanging routes and a steep arch make this area an experts-only outing.
AVOID CLIMBING WHEN THE SEA LOOKS ROUGH. Don't overestimate your swimming abilities.
ENTRANCES AND EXITS CAN BE TRICKY. Analyze both at the beginning. Bringing a rope for the exit can be useful.
SEASONALITY: The season for climbing at this area is considered the months of June, July, and August, as it's the time of year most likely to have a calm ocean.
