Cueva Ventana
Cueva Ventana (“Cave Window” in English) — is a large cave situated atop a 800 ft. high limestone cliff in Arecibo. The cave overlooks the Río Grande de Arecibo valley. It is visible from PR-123 but is accessible from a trail that begins adjacent to a Texaco gas station located along PR-10. The Disney Channel Original Movie “Wizards of Waverly Place: The Movie” was shot inside the cave and throughout the Island in 2009, a movie based on “Treasure Island” in 2011 and, recently, the 2013 film “Runner, Runner” starring Justin Timberlake and Ben Affleck, filmed in the Summer of 2012. It is a popular tourist attraction to Puerto Ricans as well as tourists visiting from outside Puerto Rico. An admittance fee of $3.00, established by the owner of that gas station, is required to enter the trail to the cave on Saturdays and Sundays due to its popularity. The number of visitors is at its most popular on both Saturdays and Sundays from early morning to an hour before nightfall.
