You might want a guide for this one

An important site within indigenous Taíno culture, Cueva del Indio is home to a beautiful selection of prehistoric cave art on Puerto Rico’s Atlantic coast. Admire over 80 pre-Columbian indigenous petroglyphs made on the cave’s limestone walls between 1200 and 1500 A.D., and learn more about the island’s indigenous cultures. The scenic hike to the cave also boasts pretty coastal views and impressive grassy cliffs. You might want to join a tour that departs from San Juan—it's a great way combine your visit to the cave with other attractions in the area, such as the Cueva Ventana and the Arecibo Observatory. – Tripadvisor

Beautiful place without crowds!
One of our favorite activities in Puerto Rico! The price was $10 per person from the parking lot. The man there showed us pictures to give us an overview of what we could do. If you pay attention to that, you don't need to hire a guide. The path is flat and sandy for a short while, then you come to the volcanic rock. You definitely want shoes on to walk on that. We went to Cuerva de Indio first, and one of us was brave enough to climb down near the opening. He didn't climb up to the small opening because it didn't feel safe enough to do so alone. But he could see into the larger opening of the cave and see some of the Taino petroglyphs, plus a great view of one of the arches. Next we explored the arches, and were glad we kept going, because it was such a neat area. It was a mix of walking over rock and on sandy beaches. The views were awesome, and it wasn't crowded in the morning. Be sure to wear suntan lotion. If we had taken water along we might have stayed longer.

Beautiful views
There is a $10 fee for anyone who enters. Plenty of parking at this place. Take water and lots of pictures. They guy who takes the money speaks fast and makes sure you see everything from all the caves to all the arches. Give yourself a couple of hrs and wear good walking shoes
