One of the oldest attractions in Matanzas. These caves where discovered by a local farmer in the 19 century. The halls and galleries are filled with stalactites and stalagmites, krastic crystals, underground stream, fountains, crystallized domes and some other unique limestone formations. Just be prepared to walk, but it totally worth it =D

Plaza América
It's a small mall, but you can find a little bit of everything.
Just half block from the apt, it was called 'Parque de las 8000 Taquillas' long time ago, which is translated something like 'Park of the 8000 closets' and was used to stored personal belongings by the beach tourists. Noways is called 'Centro Comercial Hicacos'. Here you can shop for groceries and essentials. Also rum like 'Havana Club'... very close and convenient.
