One needn't be an expert in rock materials to know that the sand at Boca del Drago is not world class in the way, say, that the sand at Cancún, Mexico, is, being that Cancún's sand consists of ground-down sea shells that stay cool all the time. But Drago's quartz-based sand is lovely all the same and some of the best Isla Colón has to offer.

Good God, Batman, it's La Gruta--the holy bat cave of Isla Colon!

If you haven’t waded through bat poop in awhile and miss it, you’ll want to check out La Gruta, a 100-meter-long cave near the center of Isla Colón. Dueling statues of the Virgin have been placed at the mouth of “La Gruta,” which is Spanish for “The Cave” (clever, huh?). Flowing past the statues is a small creek that exits the cave and contains more crap from the vampire bats that cling to the cold hole’s ceiling than you could possibly imagine.
