Description
Jump and slide down the impressive natural waterfalls of Damajagua on a morning full of adrenaline. Then, discover the most authentic side of Puerto Plata.
Get ready for the ultimate combination of nature and culture. We'll start at the famous Damajagua Falls, where the Dominican jungle becomes your amusement park. Under expert supervision, you'll jump into natural pools and glide down natural rock slides carved by water over centuries.
But the experience doesn't end there. To set us apart, we'll take you to the productive heart of our region. We'll visit a tobacco workshop where you'll see master craftsmen rolling cigars by hand, a centuries-old tradition. We'll enjoy a typical Dominican "country-style" lunch at a local farm. Finally, we'll round off the day in Plaza Independencia in Puerto Plata, getting to know the Cathedral and the stories that make this city the "Bride of the Atlantic." It's not just a tour, it's a day living like a local with the safety of an expert.
