Day Trip Overview
Your journey begins with a convenient pickup from your hotel at the prearranged time, followed by a minibus ride leading us to the outskirts of the city.

Within this area, you'll discover an extraordinary series of natural pools formed by impressive waterfalls. These majestic cascades have created expansive open-air caves, where visitors can swim, leap, and glide down thrilling natural slides, providing enjoyment for guests of all ages.
Among the 27 pools, we'll encounter the captivating "La Tinajita" waterfall. Curious about the meaning behind its name? You'll need to join us on this journey to learn the story!

To conclude our excursion, we'll visit a shop specializing in petrified wood crafts, which promises to be a delightful experience. Following our adventure, we'll return to the minibus and make our way back to the hotels in Puerto Plata, with an estimated return time of 4 to 7 hours from the start.
