27 Charcos de Damajagua

27 Charcos de Damajagua is a series of limestone canyons, waterfalls, and emerald pools near Puerto Plata. Guided hikes lead you upstream, then you descend by jumping, sliding, and swimming through cascades. Routes vary by season and fitness, from a few falls to the full 27. Helmets and life vests are provided; sturdy water shoes are recommended. Expect natural scenery, moderate physical effort, and refreshing water rather than resort-style comforts. Best after rains for fuller flows. Ideal for active travelers seeking an outdoor adventure and a memorable way to experience the Dominican Republic’s interior. Reservations recommended in high season.
