Green Grotto Caves

The Green Grotto caves, also known as the Runaway Caves, are located just under 2 miles from the spot at which Christopher Columbus landed in 1494. The caves were a haven for runaway slaves in the 18th Century and between the two World Wars, were used by smugglers running arms to Cuba. The Grotto Caves were sought after as a hideout by the Spanish during the takeover of the island by the English in 1655. The Green Grotto caves feature a series of interconnected passageways and chambers, light holes, stalactites and stalagmites, as well as two lakes.

Your guide will explain the nature of the tour and take you on a 45min walking tour through the caves. It is strongly recommended to wear proper footwear. The highlight of the Green Grotto Caves tour is the descent into the innermost cavern, where visitors will see a crystal-clear underground lake.
