Itinerary
Day 1
Historical, cultural and ecological excursion
- It is the most important prehistoric legacy in the Antilles, as it has more than 6,000 prehistoric paintings and around 500 rock carvings.
- It is made up of 55 caves and they are within the Cuevas del Pomier Anthropological Reserve.
- The original name of "Pommier" is due to the first settlers of French origin, since there were many fruits of mamón (Annona muricata), comparing it with the apple ("pomme" in French) for its reddish color when ripe. Thus, they called the place with the French word "Pommier" for the translation of apple orchard, according to historical reports.
- They were first discovered by British Consul Sir Robert Schomburgk, in 1849.
- Within them you can find indigenous rock art, such as engravings and pictographs of birds, fish, reptiles and human figures whose number exceeds all those in the Caribbean together, of such significance that it was declared a World Heritage Site.
