History


Description

Cuevas El Convento (Caves Of The Convent) is located at the El Convento Caves Natural Protected Area. The nature protection area is famous for the convergence of a humid forest and a dry forest. As a result it is home to a number of endemic flora and fauna species. The cave with its huge community of bats is part of the ecosystem. It is said to be one of the largest bat populations on the island.

The Para la Naturaleza offers ecotours into the cave on appointment. Actually they have no regular schedule or open hours. All tours are organized one at a time, then published on their website. The best way to get a tour is thus checking their website. There are always tours to numerous natural protection areas on Puerto Rico.
