The Next day Tom was going to join us to finish the survey
of Maplanche but he ended up having some other business to take care of so we
decided to take it easy and go to the Dry Forest in Guanica.

Guanica is situated in the south west corner
of Puerto Rico which has a desert environment including cactus and other rocky
features that you would find in typical deserts.
There is also a cave that I wanted to visit here called MURCIELAGO so we headed out and made it to the trailhead in pretty good time.

We hiked
up the trail and followed the side path that pretty much took us to the entrance
of the cave.
There are a number of
entrances here, but we decided to do the climb down entrance which dropped us right
into the the open air cave.

It
was a short but interesting cave in its on right as it had a few collapsed
entrances, skylights, and bats that live in the corners of the cave. There was a guano lake that was something we
tried to avoid as much as possible but other than that, the cave was a nice
visual in the dry forest.
