You step off the air-conditioned van into a cool hush—the cave mouth exhales a damp, limestone breath and the guide’s flashlight slices through mineral columns. Footsteps echo on carved stone as pictographs and stalactites loom overhead; outside, the Chavón River glints like a ribbon daring you to follow it toward the amphitheatre and cobbled alleys of Altos de Chavón.
