    A very good activity. Upon arriving at the excursion site, Mrs. Santa greets us with an excellent typical Dominican breakfast. After lunch, we wait about 30 minutes to head to the waterfall. It's recommended to wear shorts, a t-shirt, and gym shoes, as the climb is through the river, and you must navigate the current and even swim to reach the waterfall from the cabin. After the activity, we return to Mrs. Santa's with a delicious Dominican lunch.

Tour Details

We'll pick you up at the indicated time at Plaza Paraíso and from here we'll kick off our journey from Santo Domingo to Los Cacaos, within the province of San Cristóbal.

Upon arrival, we'll begin our exhilarating hiking route to El Habitáculo waterfall. The hike to this stunning waterfall, lasting approximately one to two hours, will lead us through the verdant and lush landscapes of the Dominican Republic's interior. Please note, that the duration may vary depending on the group's pace.

As we come to the magnificent waterfall, we'll take a moment to enjoy a nourishing snack surrounded by natural beauty. As we snack on a chicken sandwich served on macadamia bread, along with some delicious raisins, we'll marvel at the beauty of the area. If you're vegetarian or vegan, never fear, there is an additional snack for you too!

Once we're re-energized, we'll begin our descent back to the starting point of the hike. To enjoy the waterfall from all angles, we'll take a different route through El Habitáculo. On this separate route, we'll taste adventure and partake in a small rappelling activity near the waterfall. Hold tight!

Back at the starting point, we'll sit down to a proper Dominican-style lunch, the menu of which includes a chicken stew with white rice, red beans, and salad. 

With our bellies full, we'll head back to Santo Domingo, after 10 hours of nature and adventure.
