Cave Exploration and Diving in Cabarete
![]() 
Right in Cabarete's back yard sits El Choco National park, several lagoons, and Cabarete Caves. The Caves are millions of years old, and yet are one of Cabarete's best-kept secrets. Properly known as the Sistema La Escalera, the caves are comprised of two very different looking cave systems; Cueva de los Murcielagos and Cueva La Escalera, which are connected by a huge dry cave with no outside access.
The caves are located not far off the main road in Cabarete. Passing through the bustling village of the Callejon de la Loma, you will be transported from our coastal town to the deep, lush tropical forest of El Choco National Park. Take an epic virtual tour of this world-class cave system guided by Sea Horse Ranch resident Phillip Lehman, Founding Member and Vice President of the Dominican Republic Speleological Society.
