Features
Near the city of Ponce, lies Juana Diaz. It is a small city in Puerto Rico that has become a popular destination as it is home to an extremely important archaeological site - the Lucero Caves. Not only are they significant because of their size and for the spectacular cave wall carvings, but also they are symbolic of the culture in the region. The discovery of the Lucero Caves, also known as Cueva Lucero, has proved to archaeologists that inhabitants of this region have been exploring this cave system for centuries.
