Why go

The carvings are the reason to stop here, rather than simply viewing Lake Enriquillo from the road. Look closely at the faces cut into the rock, then step back to place them against the lake and dry hills. The site gives an Indigenous layer to a southwest journey often described only through water, salt and wildlife.

What to look for

  • Taíno faces carved into rock
  • The view toward Lake Enriquillo
