Cueva Ventana aka Window Cave in Arecibo, Puerto Rico is a small limestone cave system with a one hell of a grand finale! After a short, dark walk you make it out to this fan-freaking-tastic view overlooking the Rio Grande flowing through the Arecibo Valley that feels like you've been transported to somewhere in the heart of China or Cambodia. Now, the guides don't let you go down to where I'm standing for safety reasons, it being a 700ft drop to the valley floor and all, so I had to set up this shot and wait for just the right moment and then book it down like a mountain goat ninja. Waiting, waiting, and finally the tour guide spotted a huge Guava spider in a nearby crawl space and invited the group over to see. Bingo!!
