"Comprising nearly 20 percent of the island, Arikok National Park is a hiker’s paradise located on the east coast. You can book a 4x4 tour, or don a backpack, walking stick, and good shoes to explore the collection of caves boasting ancient Arawak drawings, lava, quartz diorite, and limestone land formations. Guided nature walks that traverse the park’s many hidden bays can be scheduled. Highlights include Conchi, a natural ocean pool protected by dramatic rock formations, Quadirikiri Cave, where rooftop openings serve as organic skylights, and the Mira la Mar view, which overlooks the region’s abandoned gold mines." - Marie Elena Martinez
