Manantial de la Aleta
A deep Taíno ritual sinkhole inside Parque Nacional Cotubanamá, with a hydrogen sulfide layer and oxygen-free deep water. Known from archaeological diving; no public diving access is published.

The site is documented as an archaeological research location inside a national park. No recreational access, guide service or permit procedure is published.
