Cavern hunting

On Thursday, our last full day in Cabarete, we decided to get up a bit early and go cavern hunting. Cabarete has some local caves at the edge of town and we went searching for them down this rugged dirt road. We got to a point where the Nisson Sentra just couldn't go any farther and was bottoming out over the rocks so we got out and hiked for a couple of miles down the trail. We went into the trees and passed pastures with horses and cows... a couple of them said hi to us so we took their pictures.

There were a few small houses and farms along the route. Finally, we had to turn back when a herd of cattle was being driven down the trail at us and we were a bit afraid of passing them on the narrow path.

It was a nice hike and, yes, we finally found the caverns. It turned out that there was a tour to see them that started from the begining of the dirt road that we just happened to pass by. In the end, we were pretty tired and didn't take the tour. From what we know, the caves are 3 holes in the rocks surrounding a lagoon near Cabarete.
