Hiking the 27 Waterfalls of Damajagua Tour from Santo Domingo
Embark on one of the Dominican Republic’s most thrilling eco-adventures: the 27 Waterfalls of Damajagua, departing directly from Santo Domingo. This full-day tour blends stunning natural landscapes, adrenaline-filled fun, and authentic Dominican culture.
Your day begins with an early morning pickup in Santo Domingo and a scenic drive to the lush mountains of Puerto Plata. Upon arrival at Damajagua, professional local guides will provide helmets, life vests, and a full safety briefing before the adventure begins.
The hike through tropical forests and rustic trails leads you to a series of breathtaking waterfalls. From here, the real fun starts: jump into crystal-clear pools, slide down smooth natural rock chutes, and swim in refreshing waters. Each fall offers a unique thrill, from exciting leaps to playful natural slides.
