Cueva de Chicho
A daylight-lit cave chamber near Bayahibe with a clear fresh-water pool and a decorated flooded passage beyond. Taíno pottery has been recovered from the pool, and a local dive centre runs guided dives.
Cueva de Chicho is the most significant cavern in the Padre Nuestro complex according to the archaeologists who studied it. A steep slope descends about 25 m from the entrance into a chamber some 30 m wide and 20 m high, where daylight still reaches a fresh-water pool about 8 m wide and 20 m long.
The archaeological team recovered Taíno ceramic water bottles from the pool, one intact vessel lodged among rocks at 3 m, and noted petroglyphs in the cave. They also recorded reports, which they could not confirm, of a flooded passage leading on from the pool.
A Bayahibe dive centre now runs guided dives in the cave, describing a tunnel of stalactites and stalagmites in clear fresh water. The wider Padre Nuestro complex was reported in 2002 to supply water to local hotels.
