Cueva Del Pirata Cofresí — Attraction in Cabo Rojo

Super cool. Saw bats and a whip scorpion on the wall of the cave. It IS a little difficult to get to, if you don’t have a car w/ big wheels or 4 wheel drive the last stretch of road is not for you. The trail is there, it’s a bit over grown and the wooden bridge over the lagoon is damaged but passable (it’s only a few feet deep, not like you’d fall to your death or anything).

The trail however is nice and the cave is actually very cool! Climb down in it past the first cavern and it will surprise you. There are some good sized bats in it but it's actually quite a...
