Amber Route & Yanigua Waterfall Tour – Tarzan’s Treehouse & Mud Bath

Escape the city and embark on a cultural and eco-adventure from Santo Domingo to the Amber Route in Hato Mayor. Start in the rural town of El Valle, where you’ll be welcomed with fresh coffee or hot chocolate before heading to an artisanal amber mine. Discover how miners extract amber in traditional ways, and take the opportunity to purchase unique pieces of this semiprecious stone.

Your journey continues to the Salto Yanigua Waterfall, a 20-meter cascade surrounded by lush tropical forest. Swim in its refreshing natural pool, try the famous natural mud bath with skin-care properties, and relax in one of the Dominican Republic’s hidden gems. For adventurers, climb the Tarzan Treehouse, a 35-meter platform in the canopy offering stunning jungle views and a unique photo opportunity.

Conclude your day with a traditional Dominican countryside lunch, paired with local cocoa and coffee tastings, before returning to Santo Domingo. This is the perfect mix of culture, nature, and adventure in one unforgettable day trip.
