A partial roof collapse created this large opening in the cavern. Natural sunlight floods through the gap to illuminate the cave floor. Look up to see tropical vegetation growing down into the sinkhole. The contrast between the dark cave and green plants is sharp.

This is one of the largest stalagmite formations in Puerto Rico. It has grown from the cave floor over millennia through steady water drips. You can take photos, but avoid using a flash directly on the bats.
