This is a hidden gem in Matanzas! We spent hours here and had such a great time! We rented paddle boats and relaxed on the beautiful river while enjoying the view of mountains and palm trees. We then rented a boat that is pulled by a seadoo to ride on another side of the river where we got to visit ruins of an old coffee mill and relax in a separate section of the river. We enjoyed lunch at their restaurant, it was really good and amazing for the price. You pay $5 to get in the park and then $4 goes towards your meal. I would recommend this place to anyone who loves nature and I hope this will be a yearly event for us when we visit beautiful Matanzas.

This excursion was a free one that came with our trip through Hola Sun. It isn't for anyone who has a disability/is unable to climb stairs, or anyone who is secretly claustrophobic.. I personally have a disability, but medication is working so I was able to climb back out of the underground cave slowly. You go down about 159 steps and slopes and etc to wonder through an ancient cave system that was once underwater. The crystals and fossils inside are amazing. It is very humid, but despite them saying it was going to be hot, you didn't notice it until you climbed the 159 steps to get your of the caves. Great tour! Was totally worth it! Can't wait to get pictures off my go pro!
