Cueva del Indio

Cueva del Indio is a seaside cave in Islote, Arecibo, on Puerto Rico’s Atlantic coast, set among limestone cliffs within a protected nature reserve managed by the Puerto Rico Department of Natural and Environmental Resources. Named for the many Taíno petroglyphs preserved there, it holds both natural and cultural significance. Its rocky shoreline and nearby marine habitat add ecological importance, including turtlegrass meadows that support the West Indian manatee and other species. The surrounding coast also supports seabirds, swallows, and shorebirds. As part of the broader Caño Tiburones conservation zone, the area was recognized as an Important Bird Area by BirdLife International in 2007.
