Boca del Diablo

A sea-carved blowhole at the southeastern tip of the peninsula, where waves surge into rock caves and burst out through cracks in the ground with a low roar.

Boca del Diablo (Devil's Mouth) sits on a coastal rock platform southeast of Las Galeras. Waves surge into underground caves and spout out through rock fissures, with water columns reaching several meters high accompanied by a roaring sound, which gives the site its name. From Las Galeras it takes about 30 minutes by 4WD or motorbike along a dirt road, and it is often a stop on ATV off-road tours. The rocks are sharp and slippery, so do not approach the edge. There are no facilities, and you can ask a local guide to lead the way.
