A majestic waterfall cascading down rocky cliffs into a muddy pool, surrounded by lush greenery.

On the Samaná peninsula, specifically in the community of El Limón, lies one of nature's most beautiful and incredible gifts to the Dominican Republic: the waterfall, better known as El Salto del Limón.

This particular natural attraction is located some 300 metres above sea level and consists of three spillways some 40 metres high, from which water falls to create a natural pool at the bottom, ideal for the enjoyment of locals and visitors alike.

Visiting the El Limón waterfalls requires a 2.5 km adventure trip through a dense forest, on horseback or on foot, over a lush mountainous terrain, constantly surrounded by a rich fauna and flora.
