The main municipalities that form San Cristóbal City are: Haina, Cambita, Yaguate and Palenque. In San Cristóbal there are also caves with tainos’ hieroglyphics in the Cuevas de Borbón ( Borbon’s Caves).

San Cristóbal was the privileged city of Dictator Trujillo, where his former houses and properties are located. It is said that the Church as well as other places in the city have underground tunnels constructed in those times of dictatorship by the president’s security agents and that nowadays they’re part of those historical content places.
