A few minutes walk from the Royalton Hicacos resort. The cost is 5 cuc per person. There is a guide who shows you around and explains the history of the cave. There are drawings on the wall as well as a lot of bats, who are harmless.

The cave was quite a bit bigger than I expected it to be. It was also completely dry, which surprised me as I saw from other posted pictures that the cave had water on the ground.
There were also less bats than I expected, but maybe that is a good thing as we did not feel nervous about the few that were flying around. Lots of bats were hanging from the ceiling, were we could look at them nicely. There were drawings on the walls that the cave guide told us were pre-Columbus, but I strongly doubt that. Most likely pre-2018. Still it was a great cave and cool to see the underground formations.

I visited this cave during my vacation in Varadero Cuba on March 14 2018. It is located in Varadero. We took the local bus which takes you there. It is cost 5 cuc to get in, tour lasts about 1 hour. You see lots of bats and can take as many pictures as you like.

There are bats in the cave which are really what make the experience very cool. It is nice for an hour or 2, the cave isn't all that big. The bats are benign. I went there with my boyfriend, very fun, and felt kind of bad for the poor bats since they were sleeping. There were (supposedly) some indigenous paintings on the walls but there weren't all that many and I found them dubious though I'm no archaeologist.

5CUC/pax for 45' walk. Not bad but it's too short. You may want to go to Saturno Cave instead. It's great there. You can even swim inside.

If you are staying anywhere in Varadero, take the time to go underground at Cueva de Ambrosio. Admission fees: bonus guide with a flashlight. Bring a flashlight! Bring the kids!

We were nearing the end of our stay and had not yet visited Varahicacos Ecological Reserve, which is the kind of thing that happens when you travel with a group with different interests.Not only was it the last day but a short hour before the park closed (sunset).

A complete cave experience for a novice: Vegetation, geology, pictographs, fauna and flora! The caves have high ceilings (over 8 feet). Though the occasional openings you can see the trees and vegetation growing above, but there are the odd plants whimsically growing on the cave floor. As you walk from ''room'' through ''room'', there are bats, stalagmites and stalactites, an interesting selection of pre-columbian (maybe) cave drawings and visible stratification of stone, pebbles and fossilized vegetation formed by ancient dunes.
