When you picture the Dominican Republic, you may think of beaches and palm trees—but just 30 minutes from Puerto Plata lies one of the country’s most exhilarating natural experiences: the 27 Waterfalls of Damajagua.
This natural wonder combines jungle trekking, crystal-clear waters, natural slides, and adrenaline-fueled jumps to create a once-in-a-lifetime adventure.
What Are the 27 Waterfalls?
Also known as “27 Charcos,” this ecological park features a series of river-carved canyons, caves, pools, and waterfalls deep in the lush hills of Damajagua.
Adventurers climb up the trails (with a local guide) and descend by sliding, swimming, and jumping down waterfalls up to 8 meters high (optional). You can choose between 7, 12, or the full 27 waterfalls depending on your time and stamina.
