The Rio Camuy caves have been closed since January 5, 2008 due to a tragic accident that happened to a visitor to the caves. Since then, they have been working on ensuring that the cave system is safe for further visitors.

It was announced today in the local paper ‘El Nuevo Dia’, that the caves will reopen to the public on February 15. Initially, the caves will be open Friday, Saturday and Sunday only. The new entrance will be through a new route that was not used before. Normal opening hours will begin on March 1. On the weekend of February 15 entrance to the caves will be free (parking will be extra). Visitors to the Rio Camuy cave system will now have to wear helmets while on the organised tours.

The Clara Cave where the accident occurred will open during July 2008.
