Cuevas Las Cabachuelas is a major cave system in Puerto Rico between Morovis and Ciales, within the Cabachuelas Natural Reserve, valued for its natural, cultural, archaeological, hydrological, and geomorphological importance. Located in Barahona barrio in Morovis, it is part of a broader zone containing 60 caves. Roberto Martínez and Ovidio Dávila studied the system extensively, and Martínez pressed for its inclusion in a national park system. Protection advanced in 2012 when Governor Luis Fortuño signed law 129 declaring the area a natural reserve. Opened to the public in 2019, it is accessed through guided visits as work continues to complete the reserve and establish Parque Nacional Las Cabachuelas.
