Cueva de Saturno
A fresh-water cenote cave near Varadero, popular for swimming and snorkelling among stalactites, with two submerged galleries reaching about 20 m that are explored by scuba divers.
Cueva de Saturno is a cenote cave in Carbonera on the airport road west of Varadero. A large opening in the ground leads down to a clear fresh-water pool decorated with stalactites and stalagmites, where visitors swim and snorkel.
A local guide site reports two galleries reaching about 20 m that scuba divers explore, along with fish and blind shrimp. The site has a snack bar and is a frequent stop on Varadero excursions. No official dive-access rules or cave-diving operators were confirmed for this edition.
