Two Sisters Caves, Hellshire

Two Sisters Cave is located in the Hellshire Hills, St. Catherine. Each cave has a large sinkhole, which contains fresh water. It is possible that these reservoirs served as sources of fresh water for the Tainos. This natural cavern and the tunnel beneath are interconnected with many other caverns and tunnels over this whole limestone area, which extends for miles in all directions. The cave contains a petroglyph carving of a face which is about seven hundred years old. Based on the fact that the Tainos drew effigies of themselves and their gods as a sign of their respect for their gods, and that the caves contain no evidence of being the homes of any Tainos, it is believed that they were mainly used for ceremonial purposes.
