点评:A nice stop along the northern shore. I read the conflicting reviews about parking. All beaches in PR are free, and you can find a place to park. If you do decide to park for free, do it on the east side of the arch (before you get to the paid lot). That said, we paid to park and it gives you a good spot to start (and there are porta potties).
We went to the cave and then the arch. My family is adventurous and I would not recommend going into the cave. Once you get to the bottom, which is about 20 feet down, it's a small space and there isn't much to see or explore. 5 minutes down there and you are ready to go out. However, there is the problem. The entry hole is small and "one-way", so if a tour group is behind you then you could be stuck down there for a while. This happened to us. The tour guides were very rude. They would not the 2 of us get out before they got their people through the opening. That said, there is a trick to getting out if you have the ability to climb. If you at the bottom and are facing the carvings on the wall, turn to your right and there is a pocket that you can enter and climb up and out. My son is 12 and was the one to figure it out. It's was fairly easy to do but do so at your own risk. We saw another couple later in the day and they said they were stuck down there for about 40 minutes, as they were not comfortable with the climb. Also as you walk around up top, there are about 5 holes that are the size of a manhole cover. If you fall through it's not going to end well. Do not walk and take pictures at the same time. Pay attention.
We then worked east toward the beach/arch. It is a easy, short hike that leads to some very nice views.
Overall a nice spot - but think twice about the cave if it is crowded.
翻译:北岸的一个不错的停留点。我读了关于停车的相互矛盾的评论。波多黎各的所有海滩都是免费的,你可以找到一个停车的地方。如果你决定免费停车,那就在拱门的东侧停车(在你到达付费停车场之前)。话虽如此,我们付费停车,这给了你一个很好的起点(而且有移动厕所)。
我们去了洞穴,然后去了拱门。我的家人喜欢冒险,我不建议进入洞穴。一旦你到达底部,大约 20 英尺深,这是一个很小的空间,没有什么可看或探索的。在那里待 5 分钟,你就可以出去了。然而,问题就在这里。入口洞很小而且是“单向的”,所以如果后面有一个旅游团,那么你可能会被困在那里一段时间。这发生在我们身上。导游非常粗鲁。在他们把人带出洞口之前,他们不会让我们两个出去。话虽如此,如果你有能力攀爬,那么有一个技巧可以让你逃脱。如果你在底部,面对着墙上的雕刻,向右转,那里有一个口袋,你可以进去爬上爬下。我的儿子 12 岁,是他想出了这个办法。这很容易做到,但风险自负。当天晚些时候,我们又见到了一对夫妇,他们说他们被困在那里大约 40 分钟,因为他们不习惯攀爬。此外,当你走上山顶时,那里有大约 5 个洞,大小和井盖差不多。如果你掉下去,后果可不妙。不要边走边拍照。注意。
然后我们向东朝海滩/拱门走去。这是一次轻松、短暂的徒步旅行,可以欣赏到一些非常美丽的景色。
总的来说,这是一个不错的地方——但如果人太多,请三思而后行。
