Natur
Región cárstica
A belt across the island's north made of eroded limestone, with rounded hills called mogotes, sinkholes and caves. It is the landscape that appears suddenly as you drive toward Arecibo and Camuy. Underground rivers run below that rock, and they carve the cave systems people visit.
Beispiel
Those green egg shaped hills you see from the northern highway are mogotes, not ordinary hills.
