The Hato Caves are approximately 240 m. long and formed in coral limestone by karst processes. Gerard Bernard Catharinus Voorduin (1830-1910) spent six years in Suriname and the Netherlands Antilles. The lithographs are done by Jacob Duard van Heemskerck van Beest (1828-1894). Title from preceding text.
