Description

Experience a unique adventure at the 27 Waterfalls of Damajagua, a series of natural waterfalls and crystal-clear pools located in Damajagua National Park, in the heart of Puerto Plata's tropical jungle. This excursion combines hiking, swimming, and the thrill of sliding down natural rock slides.

The tour begins with an approximately 30-40 minute hike along a trail in the tropical jungle, where you can observe local flora and fauna. Then you will reach the waterfalls, where you can jump from different heights (from 2 to 8 meters) and slide down natural slides formed by the rocks.

Our expert and certified guides will accompany you at all times, ensuring the experience is safe and fun. The tour includes all necessary safety equipment (helmets and life jackets). It is a perfect experience for adventure and nature lovers, and one of the most famous eco-tour excursions in the Dominican Republic.

**Sustainability and Community:** Part of the excursion value is reinvested in the local community of Damajagua. The park is managed as a community eco-tourism project, contributing directly to the sustainable development of the area. Zero-waste practices are encouraged and care for the area's flora and fauna to preserve this natural treasure for future generations.
