Anthropological Reserve Of Cuevas Del Pomier

I live in Dominican Republic and make domestic tourism every weekend, but Cuevas Pomier was one of the best experiences I had! There are 55 calcium caves, one million years old each, with caving drawing and huge labyrinth like path. So much fun! Guide was so knowledgeable, worked there for over 20 years, told us many stories and Taíno's information. Very nicely maintained area, sculptures by Taino, gift shop, parking, security... all good. Bat's cave is just incredibly cool. We only have time for 2 caves, so we will be back a few times to continue our experience. Also: do not forget to stop and buy Banilejos mango

Great place, although it can use some improvements. Very educational, entertaining. The use of a guide is mandatory because it is a large area with many caves and corners. Could be easily lost or injured.

Underrated, have been there twice now. Lots of great Taino pictograms, our first guide was really knowledgeable and both times we were the only people there. First time it was my wife and I and we explored the caves. The second time we took my in-laws, my father had recently had knee surgery but was still able to see a lot as much of the main cave is paved and accessible.

Beautiful caves, lots of bats guide speaks spanish only. Worth the price!

I love caves, and have visited caves around the world. This has to be a near favorite. It was only 40 minutes of easy ride from Santo Domingo, so if you are in the city it is well worth renting a car to drive out there. The cave has an enormous collection of pictographs which help provide insight into Taino culture, often lacking in the historical records of this colonized island. Our tour guide was knowledgable, kindly about my halting Spanish, professional and personable, and knew the corrosponding Taino story and significance of each pictograph. The symbolism is also very evident, as the drawings are clear, especially as you go deeper into the caves. The floor has been well treated, and it is clean and easy to walk. A word to the wise, this place is in an impoverished area, and you’ll want to pack a lunch and make sure you have gas. You drive through a limestone quarry to get there and we wondered if we were lost during parts of the drive. Don’t be scared off. GPS isn’t lying. At the end of that dirt road is a true gem. Totally worth it.
