Cave sights in Varadero

  1. Cueva de Ambrosio

    East on Autopista Sur and 500m beyond the Club Amigo Varadero you’ll find the Cueva de Ambrosio. Some 47 pre-Columbian drawings were discovered in this 300m cave in 1961. The black and red drawings feature the same concentric circles seen in similar paintings on the Isla de la Juventud, perhaps a form of solar calendar. The cave was also used as a refuge by escaped slaves.
