CUEVA DE LAS MARAVILLAS / CAVE OF WONDERS

The “Cave of Wonders” is so named for the abundance of crystallized minerals hanging from the interior ceiling.  Also inside are some 500 petroglyphs etched into the wall thousands of years previously by Taino Indians who used the caves during ceremonial rituals.  Ramps and an elevator make the 80-foot descent underground accessible to seniors, young children, and the physically disabled.  

ALTOS DE CHAVON

A walk down the cobblestone paths of Altos de Chavon reveals, at every turn, architecture reminiscent of another era. Coral block and terra cotta buildings enfold craft workshops, artists’ studios, galleries, shops, and restaurants. Complementing this tranquil evocation of the past is the exuberant artistry of today.

The performing arts are showcased in the village's spectacular 5,000-seat open-air amphitheatre. Since its inauguration in 1982 by Frank Sinatra and Carlos Santana, the amphitheatre has hosted concerts, symphonies, theatrical events, and festivals featuring such renowned artists as Julio Iglesias, Gloria Estefan, Sergio Mendes, Dizzy Gillespie, Air Supply, Pilobulos, and the Dance Theatre of Harlem.

The village is a vital source of inspiration, professional training, and artistic expression. Diverse educational and artistic programming, in a breathtaking natural and architectural setting, provides Altos de Chavon with its unique ability to stimulate creativity and cultural interchange.
