The Fuente is a unique and interesting geological feature in Arikok National Park

The cave has a natural opening to the sea, allowing waves to wash up and swirl around inside the large depression. While it is visible from around a fenceline surrounding its perimieter, a set of stairs allows visitors to enter into the cave. Depending on tides, it is possible to walk around the stone formation to get a better view of water rushing in and out of the narrow opening beneath the natural bridge. 

Translating to "fountain" in Papiamento, reaching the Fuente requires a short drive on a rough gravel road, and with no directional signage, the site receives few visitors, as most bypass it on their way to Dos Playa without stopping.

Those who would like to visit Fuente without a high clearance vehicle can park at the Boca Dunes parking area and make the relatively short walk.

Aside from the fencing and stairs, there are no improvements or amenities at the Fuente site.
