The Best Way to Visit El Limon Waterfall from Punta Cana

El Limon waterfall, known in spanish as el Salto del Limón or Cascada el Limón is tucked away in the beautiful Samana province in Dominican Republic.

This cascade, with it’s 52 meters high drop, is perhaps the most famous waterfall in the whole country and a must-see spot while visiting the DR.

Where is el Limon Waterfall located?

El Limon waterfall is located near a small town called El Limon in Samana, Dominican Republic about a half-hour away from Las Terrenas.

How can I get from Punta Cana to El Limon?

You can book an excursion to the cascade from more than a dozen places in town or on the highway to Samana but the focus of this post is how to get to el Limon from Punta Cana .

I find that the best way to visit Samana from Punta Cana is by plane, just a 30 minutes flight across the Samana Bay with an unbeatable view.

You could go on a cheaper tour by bus but I find that a large part of the day is wasted just getting there and back.

We at iHeartDR have handpicked the Samana Explorer by Plane tour  by S&S which takes you on 1½ hours long excursion to the El Limón waterfall as part of an adventure filled day.

You’ll reach the cascade on horseback through rough terrain followed by a brief hike down a somewhat steep staircase but what awaits you at the bottom is definitely worth it.

Once at the bottom, the cold water and the wind created by the waterfall is just what you need to cool down after the hike down. Bring your camera, you’ll want pictures of this place, trust me.

The water is deep, a great place to practice your swimming! You can even swim to get behind the water curtain which is awesome (no pirate treasure hidden there though).

There are no amenities here, no bathrooms and not even a clean place to sit down (everything is muddy) but in my opinion, this is how it should remain, as unspoiled by man as possible.

Common question: How long is the horseback riding to El Limon waterfall?

Answer: The ride from the ranch to the entrance of the waterfall is approximately 30 minutes long followed by a 5 to 10 minutes hike down a flight of stairs to reach the base of the cascade.

The rest of this 12 hours long Samana tour is just as exciting but you don’t have to take our word for it…

This tour covered so much it’s hard to know where to begin! We were picked up at our all inclusive and driven to small airport in Punta Cana. The scenery was beautiful as we flew over the Domican to Samana. On the horseback ride each rider has their “own guide” who walks/runs beside you. I groaned at first thinking it was going to be a “pony ride.” Boy, was I ever wrong! My guide quickly saw I was an experienced rider and made it an enjoyable ride. These guides work just for tips and do a fantastic job. The walk down to the waterfall is steep and strenuous even though there own stone steps. ( Remember you also have to go back up!) Seeing this beautiful waterfall and swimming in the lagoon was a first for me. The next part of the trip was a boat ride to an island beach. Great swimming and relaxing. Just moving around the island was an experience in itself. Read original review on Tripadvisor

Cascada Limon | What to know before you go to El Limon Waterfall in Samana, Dominican Republic

Hidden away in the mountains on the north coast of Dominican Republic is El Limon waterfall, Cascada Limon .

There are several trail heads to begin the journey to Cascada Limon. The distance and difficulty of each trail varies and each of them ultimately reach the same entrance at the top of El Limon. For a change of pace, we rode horses.

Our starting point is across from a picturesque church, then along the road to the dirt trail. The majority of our ride is shaded under the thick tropical canopy. Our guides walk alongside our horses, which seems weird, but I am told this is the tradition.

Along the way our guides point out the local plants, including coffee and cacao. We discuss the local roasting process and smell the cacao roasting nearby.

There are buses that can take you to a lower trailhead for an easier ride along the river. We rode our horses along a pretty steep trail, but I did not realize how steep until halfway on our ride.

I consider myself to be a pretty decent rider, for a city girl, but stirrups were not quite the right length and I was sore and bruised the next day from our ride.

For less experienced riders, or kids, request one of the lower trails accessed by a short bus ride to the horses and lower trail near the river.

Go take a Hike

Another option is to skip the horses and hike the entire 2+ kilometer trail. The steep trails are well shaded and would be a great morning hike.

After our 40 minute ride we leave our horses to rest and begin the hiking portion of the journey. Initially, this is a light walk along the river to the final descent to the waterfall.

The steps are the point of no return, if you are out of shape or worried about the descent (or subsequent ascent back up), then do not proceed. There are reportedly over 250 steps along this steep, muddy path that lead down 50 meters (165 feet) to the base of the waterfall. I did not actually count the steps to confirm, but I watched several people struggle to climb the steps back up. Know your limits and do not push yourself into injury.

There is a little gift shop and rest area up at the top. Anyone that is not physically able to hike down to the waterfall can comfortably rest there. This is also a great spot to buy a water to hydrate before beginning the return trip.

Due to lower than average rainfall, my guide shows me how low the water level is and explains that the waterfall is much smaller and more narrow than usual due to lack of rainfall. The river and ponds feed from the waterfall are normally much higher water levels and faster flowing river.

Less water did not stop us from enjoying the natural fresh-water pool at the base of El Limon waterfall. After the horseback ride and hike, the 70 degrees F (21 C) water feels cool and refreshing.

The rocks around the edge are a bit slippery, so water shoes are recommended but not absolutely necessary.

A few people climb up the rocks for cliff jumping into the pool below.

Our guides stay with us at the waterfall, offering to take photos and to keep our backpacks safe and dry while we swim.

Cascada Limon is in Samana, Dominican Republic on the north side of the island. Located approximately 22 kilometers from the beach town of Las Terrenas. Plan for at least a 30 minute drive from Las Terrenas (if you know where you are going, add more time to get lost since there are literally no street signs).

There are a wide variety of all-inclusive resorts, private homes, condos , and budget friendly hostels throughout Samana Peninsula.

Most tours include horse ride, entrance fee to the waterfall, and lunch. The big difference in price is if the transportation from Las Terrenas is included or not.

Basic Tour is Priced between 6,000 pesos ($12 USD) up to 32,500 pesos ($65 USD) per person

The cost of our tour, is 6,000 pesos ($12 USD). We were able to negotiate a lower price for three riders on a slow day in person, but could have also have been turned away if they were fully booked in high season. This price did not include transportation, or any additional booking fees from a third party.

Horseback tours with lunch and transportation from Las Terrenas are priced between 22,500 – 32,500 pesos ($45-65 USD) per person. Booking online or arranging for pick up at the luxury resorts guarantees a “firm” price. You may be able to negotiate a lower price per person by arranging your tour at the Las Terrenas tour location in person.

For solo travelers, I recommend the organized tour that includes transportation, it will end up begin less hassle and less expensive than arranging transportation for one. If you are traveling in a group, it may be less expensive to rent a car or arrange for transportation (ask for transportation options at the resort or hotel).

For our group of 3, we saved about 10,000 pesos ($20 USD) per person by arranging for our transportation separately, but we wasted time waiting for transportation on both ends of the journey and it was not worth the minor cost savings to me.

The entire tour of El Limon was 3 hours total. With transportation, plan to spend half the day on this excursion.

The horseback ride was 2.5 hours, including about 30 minutes at the El Limon waterfall and natural pools. Lunch was ready upon our arrival, so we enjoyed a leisurely lunch of only 30 minutes. Plus 30 minutes each way for transportation, and an additional 30 minutes waiting for return transportation (since we arranged this separately from the tour).

Our tour concluded with lunch consisting of fresh leafy green salad, locally sourced fruit salad, fried chicken strips, pork, and the traditional Dominican rice and beans. The chicken and port were moist and delicious. We were served “family style” of plenty of tasty food.

After 2.5 hours on horseback and hiking, I was so hungry that I forgot to take a photo of the food.

The large tour group that arrived for lunch as we were leaving had a full buffet set-up consisting of the same menu options from our lunch, prepared fresh upon their arrival. Since transportation was included in their tour, they ended up leaving before us, as soon as they finished eating.

Tour Guides

Each horse and rider has an assigned guide. More than just a tour guide leading us down the path, these guide are responsible for the safety and care of the horses and riders.

The tour guides answered questions about the tropical plants, rainfall and weather patterns, and shared their knowledge about the island. They also offered to take photos, and even posed for a few photos with us.

Guides are paid very little, if anything at all by the tour company. Their main source of income is tips from the ride. Plan to tip at least 5,000 pesos ($10 USD) or more if your tour guide goes above and beyond.

What to Wear

• Lightweight shorts or quick dry pants
• Quick dry shirt
• Hiking boots or heavy sole water shoes with tread
• Hat (optional) to wear under the mandatory helmet

A small backpack is the perfect horse riding accessory. My camera equipment and wallet stayed dry in my backpack, but I was glad to have my dry bag in case of rain. We brought towels with us, and I was completely dry from my swim after walking back up the trail to the horses.

Our tour for El Limon began near a local Cigar Factory. While the horses were being saddled and prepared for our tour, there was a cigar making demonstration. Even as a non-smoker, it was fascinating to watch how cigars are made. Our demonstration included cutting the tobacco leaf free-hand and watching the cigar rolling process.

Dominican Republic is famous for hand rolled cigars. These Cigars gained popularity with Americans as a legal alternative to Cuban cigars.

I have several cigar smoking friends, and I regret not buying a box of these hand rolled Dominican cigars as gifts. I purposefully did not bring much cash with me for the horse ride, not realizing that I would find such unique souvenirs for a waterfall tour. I will definitely bring more cash with me for unique souvenirs like this in future visits to DR.

I enjoyed reading your post, it seems like you had an extraordinary day. Thanks for sharing this great article.

The article on Cascada Limon is a great guide to exploring one of the most stunning waterfalls in the Dominican Republic. The author’s detailed information on the hike to the waterfall, its mesmerizing beauty, and the surrounding landscapes is both informative and inspiring.

When visiting the Dominican Republic, Samana is a must-see destination. This El Limon Waterfall will be added to our bucket list of places to visit. Thank you for sharing this post

heading to DR soon, will have my own car. Can you provide name or address for the local horseback provider or cigar factory?

Here is the website and booking information for the horse ride tours and restaurant – http://www.paradalamanzana.com/ The cigar factory is on the lower level at https://goo.gl/maps/PT8wb4poJ9ucLMzr8 .

You know what? I have never ever seen a waterfall, and thats quite high on my bucketlist, along with a horsebackride in i foreign country. You did it all girl! 😀 Colour me envious!

You need a waterfall visit, STAT!

The pool at the bottom of the waterfall still looked pretty good to me in spite of the drought! I’m glad you included the tip for non-experienced riders. I’d probably opt for a bus honestly!

This is such a wonderful adventure. I am not really great with horse so, we might consider the hiking instead in case we get to visit. It is good to know that the trails are well-shaded.

Will take a look at the tour options too. Happy to know they serve good food.

Looks like such an amazing adventure. First the cigar experience then the 3 hour on the horseback, and then finally the waterfall – recipe for a perfect day in the outdoors. Btw can tis be done on foot as well, without using the horses?

There were only a few hikers, but with proper hiking shoes this would be a great hike!

The Dominican Republic is on our list of places to go. We’re always looking for different ways to get somewhere popular so I like the option to ride horses or hike. I also appreciate the tip that while you may save money, you lose time arranging for transportation yourself. How cool to watch them making cigars too!

El Limon waterfall is an absolute must-see in DR. I hope you get to visit soon!

I wouldn’t feel weird, but rather safe if they walk alongside the horse. You know, being a novice & all… Haha… But then, I think I’d rather hike to be on a safety side! 21°C sounds perfect for a nice cool dip! Hand rolled Dominican cigars? That’s a perfect gift indeed!

The water was perfect! The cigars would be such a good gift, next time I need to bring more cash.

I love to chase waterfalls and this looks like a good one! I’m hoping to be able to make it down south next summer and need to put the DR on my to-do list! Thanks for the heads-up recommendation for the benefits of going with a group. I tend to travel solo a lot and am usually wary about guided tours. I can definitely see the benefit though!

The individual guides really made this feel like a private tour. I think you will like it!

I enjoyed reading your post, it sounds like you had a great day. I really like the idea of combining the horse ride and visit to the waterfall. Despite their being less rainfall, it looked a beautiful spot and I expect a perfect place to cool off! It was handy to have an idea of how much to expect to pay for the tour, transport and tipping.

It was a fantastic experience, I hope you get to see it for yourself!

Loved reading about your adventure at El Limon Waterfall. Sorry to know that the horse ride was not all that comfortable. We would generally prefer hiking than a horse ride on a treacherous terrain. Do guides accompany the hikers, as well?

I should not have galloped my horse, being sore was completely my fault. Hiking would be great, too. I would still want a guide, since there are no trail markers and it would be too easy to get lost.

I have always longed to visit central and South American countries. I had always envisaged great culture, food and music, but such great waterfalls somehow never crossed my mind. More reasons to visit this gem of a country I guess! This changed my perspectives a bit:)

Dominican Republic is a beautiful country, in the Caribbean. Definitely worth visiting.

Quick Overview: best Punta Cana to Samaná excursions

Looking to book last-minute and don’t have time to read all the details? No worries, the following overview shows you the different tours available when looking for a Samaná adventure to Punta Cana. If you are interested in all the details about Samaná, Salto El Limón Waterfall and Cayo Levantado and Bacardi Island continue reading this guide below as I will show you all the different options of how to get from Punta Cana to Samaná.

What is Salto El Limón Waterfall?

 Salto El Limón, also known as El Limon Waterfall, is one of the most captivating waterfalls in the Dominican Republic. With its lush vegetation, vibrant waters, and picturesque drop, it offers a mesmerizing natural spectacle. The waterfall can be accessed through hiking or horseback riding, typically included in guided excursions from Punta Cana or other locations. Alternatively, Salto El Limón presents an opportunity for independent hikers to explore the trails, as they are reasonably well-marked even for those without extensive jungle experience. Upon reaching the waterfall—whether on a guided tour, horseback ride, or self-guided hike—you can relish in the invigorating natural swimming pool, boasting an enchanting emerald green color. It’s important to exercise caution during this Samaná adventure, as the path can be slippery, and there may be rocks in the pool. 

Salto El Limón is not only the most picturesque waterfall, with 120 feet it is also the highest waterfall in Samaná. Therefore it is even more impressive to visit this waterfall in the Dominicana Republic, especially as you can see another one on the way to the falls.

Where is Salto El Limón Waterfall?

 Salto El Limón is nestled on the Samaná peninsula, located in the northeastern part of the Dominican Republic. The access point is the charming village of El Limón (Dominican Republic), situated between the popular fishing town of Las Terrenas and the vibrant city of Santa Barbara de Samaná. There are several El Limon Waterfall hiking trails (detailed below) that commence between the villages of El Limón and Rancho Español. If you’re driving, the approximate distances to the trailheads are 30 minutes to Las Terrenas, 2.5-3 hours to Santo Domingo , 3-3.5 hours to Puerto Plata , and 4.5 hours to Punta Cana. For those relying on public transport , the journey takes slightly over 30 minutes from Las Terrenas and Santa Barbara de Samaná.

When to go to El Limón Waterfall?

El Limón Waterfall (Dominican Republic) is best visited during the rainy season or at the beginning of the dry season as in some years the waterfall dries out pretty much at the end of the dry season. In this case, particularly in the months of April to June, you might only see a trickle running down the impressive drop. Therefore, the best time to visit Salto El Limón Waterfall is between August (or after the first rains have arrived) and March more or less.

In terms of the time of the day, it is best to visit Salto del Limon in Samaná as early as possible in the morning – ideally before 9am – or late in the afternoon after 3pm, to avoid the crowds of tour groups during the day.

Visit El Limón Waterfall from Punta Cana

Guided land excursion to salto el limón from punta cana.

Embarking on a guided land excursion from Punta Cana to Salto El Limón * offers a truly immersive and diverse adventure, showcasing the stunning landscapes and regions of the Dominican Republic. Typically lasting around 10 to 12 hours, these excursions from Punta Cana encompass a variety of transportation modes, including a bus-boat-safari truck combination, ensuring an unforgettable experience.

More Info >>

The journey to Salto El Limon Waterfall begins with an early morning pick-up from your hotel or all-inclusive resort in Punta Cana , covering pick-ups in areas such as Cap Cana, Cabeza de Toro, Bavaro, Macao, and Uvero Alto . As you travel northwestward, a scenic drive unfolds along a newly constructed road, meandering between the majestic mountains of the Cordillera Oriental, including the notable Montaña Redonda , and the picturesque coastline. En route, you’ll pass through quaint villages and witness the lush rice terraces, immersing yourself in the local ambiance.

Upon reaching one of the small ports along the Miches – Sabana de la Mar route (which depends on the tour operator you book), you transition to a boat for a 15-mile ride from the Punta Cana side to the Samaná peninsula. The boat journey may vary in intensity, influenced by the day’s wind and waves. Upon arrival in Samaná, you’ll switch to a safari truck, traversing the verdant Samaná mountain range, abundant with lush vegetation and charming fishing villages, on your way to the ranches that mark the beginning of the tour to El Limón Waterfall.

At this point, you’ll have the option to choose between a horseback ride or a hike. While a horseback ride is available, I recommend opting for the hike, not only to challenge your fitness but also to support the mules and horses, which may not always be in optimal condition (so express it positively – in other words, the horses or mules are getting treated very poorly). The El Limón Waterfall hike takes approximately 30 to 45 minutes and although the trail can be rocky and muddy, it is a manageable trek.

 For both options – hike or horseback ride – you have to first climb down and afterwards climb up a natural staircase of around 150 feet altitude to reach Salto El Limón Waterfall. That’s equal to the height of this beautiful waterfall.

Please note that if you decide on horseback riding you get assigned a private guide who is taking care of your horse and is guiding you all the way to the waterfall El Limón. They also make sure you are comfortable and enjoy the ride. Those local guides usually don’t get paid (it doesn’t matter which tour you book), so please tip them generously. That’s one of the few things I don’t like about Salto El Limón in Samaná, but unfortunately, that’s how their business is organized. Again, the better option would be opting out from the horseback ride as the horses are not getting treated well anyway. Hiking to El Limon Waterfall is definitely the better option here, even though your guide might try to convince you of the opposite.

 After refreshing yourself in the natural swimming pool, you ride or hike back to the starting point of the El Limón Waterfall tour and can enjoy a typical Dominican lunch. Back in the safari trucks, you are heading back towards the port of Samaná where you embark on the boat and just take a quick 15-minute hop to the gorgeous island of Cayo Levantado, which is also widely known as Bacardi Island (apparently, this was where the famous Bacardi commercial was filmed, but there is no real proof about it). Anyway, Bacardi or not, you can enjoy the beach and the turquoise ocean before heading back from Samaná by boat to the mainland and from there by bus back to your Punta Cana resort .

If interested in this Punta Cana to Samaná tour, please check out the following hand-selected options, which are some of the recommendable excursions from Punta Cana to El Limón Waterfall and Cayo Levantado.

 As you can see from the description of those Samaná adventure tours, these excursions from Punta Cana are quite long, as they have several stages of transport: bus – boat – safari truck – hike/horseback ride and the same way back. The amazing thing about it is that it doesn’t get boring, the negative point might be that it’s just too long because the whole excursion from Punta Cana to Salto El Limón takes 10-12 hours – which is also why most of the El Limón Waterfall excursions only have average reviews. However, if you see the journey as part of your trip, the tours to Salto de Limon are enjoyable. 

Guided air excursion to El Limón Waterfall from Punta Cana

 If you feel that this is too long then you should check out the excursion by airplane as it cuts the transport part considerably. Instead of the long bus and boat journey, you board a plane at Punta Cana International Airport and hop over to Samaná in a fraction of the time. This tour is called Samaná Explorer from Punta Cana by plane * and comes with a couple of additional perks on top: – smaller groups, as the plane usually only fits 8 to 19 passengers – less time in the bus and more time on the Samaná peninsula – amazing views on the Dominican Republic from above, including Punta Cana, the Cordillera Oriental and the Samaná peninsula (depending on the flight route of the day)

 Once you arrive at the local Samaná airport of Arroyo Barril, the procedure is similar to the guided land excursion starting with the part of the safari truck. Some companies swap this truck for a private van as well, depending on the tour. You head over to the area of Salto del Limón (usually a bit earlier than the regular groups from Punta Cana), hike or horseback ride to the El Limón Waterfall and visit Cayo Levantado (Bacardi Island) on the way back. Once you are done here, you head back to the Arroyo Barril Airport and fly back from Samaná to Punta Cana – again with marvelous views if the weather permits. As the planes are super small, you shouldn’t be claustrophobic, but the big advantage is that nearly everyone in the plane has a window seat and can admire the Dominican Republic from above.

Check the prices of both Punta Cana to Samaná tours, the land excursion and the Samaná Explorer by plane. Sometimes the difference is amazingly small. At the time of writing, some tours by bus are offered at 179 USD per person (even there are existing a few cheaper options), while the plane excursion is priced at around 300 USD for 2023. That’s not so much of a difference considering you are getting two panoramic flights on top.

 You don’t like these guided excursions and would prefer to go on your own? Absolutely possible! Just count in some additional time as driving there the whole way is a bit far and would not be feasible for 1 day. That’s why I would highly recommend making a 2- or 3-day road trip out of it – either as a self-drive tour or with a private driver. This also gives you the advantage that you can visit Salto El Limón very early in the morning or very late in the afternoon and therefore have a high chance of having this beautiful waterfall just for you. You can check out a possible itinerary from Punta Cana to Samaná in this article .

 How do you organize this trip?

 Well, it depends! If you would like to do it as a self-drive tour, just rent a car ( my recommendation is here *), book yourself an accommodation * in the popular beach town of Las Terrenas (the complete opposite of Punta Cana) and head off early the next day on your way to El Limón Waterfall.

 If you prefer a private driver, I can help you with finding one, then you just need your accommodation on the Samaná peninsula and you are good to go.

Visit waterfall El Limón Waterfall from Santo Domingo

Guided excursion to salto el limón from santo domingo.

 If you are based in Santo Domingo , incl. its beach towns Boca Chica and Juan Dolio, there are – as far as I know – no guided group excursions to the waterfall El Limón on the Samaná peninsula. Therefore, a private excursion (where you can combine El Limón Waterfall with some other highlights of the Samaná peninsula, for example, the pristine beaches of the area or the popular beach town of Las Terrenas) would be the only option to reach Salto De Limón for a day-trip.

However, even better would be a 2- or 3-day road-trip to Samaná , as the driving time from Santo Domingo to El Limón Waterfall is still around 3 hours, which is pretty long for a day trip. Such a Samaná road-trip is particularly interesting as the peninsula is stunning and will blow your mind away with its natural beauty and unspoiled nature. Samaná is harvesting millions of coconuts every year, so you can imagine how many palm trees you can find here. The beaches in Samaná are no comparison with those in Punta Cana , as they are mostly pristine and empty – you can have a 2-mile beach in Samaná all on your own. So why not explore a little bit more and plan a 2- or better 3-day itinerary ? 

You can find a sample of my road trip ideas and itinerary proposals here . Furthermore, you can contact me here and we can work out a cool and personalized Dominican Republic itinerary together.

Visit waterfall El Limón Waterfall when you are already in Samaná

 Many people choose to spend their vacation right in Samaná – because of the relaxed beach town vibe, the pristine beaches and the lower prices, even transportation from the airports in the Dominican Republic to the Samaná region is a bit more difficult than in Punta Cana .

 If you are already in Samaná you can choose between two options to visit El Limón Waterfall: going on an organized tour or heading to the waterfall on your own.

 If you are on holiday in Samaná, you have different options to book a guided excursion to El Limón Waterfall. Advantages of these tours: some of them leave early so that you reach the waterfall before other people arrive from cruise ships or from Punta Cana.

 If you are staying at one of the few all-inclusive resorts in Samaná, you can book one of the regular tours, where you get picked up and later head to the trailhead of Salto El Limón by safari truck. These Samaná adventure tours are considerably shorter than the ones described above from Punta Cana because depending on where you are staying, the driving time is just 20 – 60 minutes. Upon arriving at the ranch, you saddle up the horse and start horseback riding (or hiking) to the waterfall Salto El Limón (Samaná). As mentioned, I would recommend the hike as the horses or mules are not in good shape, furthermore the trail is a good challenge for your physical fitness. And by the way, I was once riding the horse and felt more in danger than when walking due to the uneven path, that’s also one of the reasons I have done all the El Limón Waterfall hiking trails by foot since then.

 Once you have arrived at El Limón Waterfall and climbed down the 150 feet staircase, you can refresh yourself in the natural swimming pool and enjoy the cold river and gorgeous colors. After the hike (or horseback ride) back you usually get a local Dominican lunch and drive back to your accommodation afterwards. The whole El Limón Waterfall excursion just takes around 4-6 hours as opposed to 10-12 hours when coming from Punta Cana to Samaná, but does not – in most cases – include “Bacardi Island” (Cayo Levantado).

Here you can find some of the best El Limón Waterfall excursions from Samaná: – El Limón Waterfall without pick-up (starts right at El Limón) * – El Limón Waterfall from Las Terrenas * – El Limón Waterfall from Las Terrenas (Private Tour) * – El Limón Waterfall from Santa Barbara de Samaná *

 If you would like to be particularly early at El Limón Waterfall (Dominican Republic), I can recommend Flora Tours * from my own experiences. They start their tours in Las Terrenas (no other pick-up points) at the latest at 8 am and just go in small groups which means you are at the waterfall usually around 9 am, which (nearly) guarantees you some unspoiled views and experiences of Salto El Limón (Samaná). Further plus: if you reserve with 2 people and they don’t have other reservations for that day, they do the tour just with you – there is no minimum number of participants. This means you just pay the price for a group tour but get a private tour if you are lucky.

Visiting El Limón Waterfall on your own

How to arrive by car and where to park at el limón waterfall.

 Arriving by car to Salto El Limón is not that difficult if you are used to road conditions in third-world countries. Saying that, if you have driven in similar countries before, you can easily rent a car in the Dominican Republic . If this is your first time in this kind of environment I highly recommend a private driver.

 To reach Salto El Limón, just enter El Limón Waterfall (Dominican Republic) in Google Maps and follow the instructions. Depending on where you are coming from, the distance and driving time to the trailheads are as following:

– from Las Terrenas: 12 miles / 30 minutes – from Las Galeras: 25 miles / 1 hour – from Santo Domingo : 100 miles / 2:40 hours – from Puerto Plata : 120 miles / 3:45 hours – from Punta Cana: 200 miles / 4:20 hours

 You can park your car at one of the several paradas and ranches which are signposted along the road between the villages of Rancho Español and El Limón (Dominican Republic). Those are properties of small family-operated tour operators. All the tours to Salto El Limón waterfall, it doesn’t matter if guided or not, if hiking or by horse, start from here. Check the map below with all of the El Limon Waterfall Hike Starting Points to get a full overview of where you can park (for example for Sendero Franklin you park at “Parada Franklin” respectively “Rancho Franklin”)

Reaching Salto El Limón by public transport

 If you would like to reach Salto El Limón Waterfall by public transport, you can connect either via Las Terrenas or Santa Barbara de Samaná. Little pick-ups or minivans are leaving Las Terrenas at the cemetery right in front of La Bodega or in Santa Barbara de Samaná at the public market. 

 When arriving from Las Terrenas, some of the vans/pick-ups run all the way to Santa Barbara de Samaná. In this case, tell the driver that you want to go to Salto El Limón and they will drop you at one of the different trailheads.

 If the minivan/pick-up just runs until the village of El Limón (Samaná), you have to get a motoconcho (motorcycle-taxi) from there to your preferred trailhead or simply walk half a mile to the first trailhead, Sendero El Café (see below for explanations of the different trails).

El Limon Waterfall Accommodation

Usually, most people visiting Cascada El Limón Waterfall are staying in Las Terrenas ( check here for the best Las Terrenas accommodation *), which is only a 30-minute drive away. Still, if you’d like to stay even closer, there are a few accommodation options available right in El Limón in Samaná, a busy little village mostly unaffected by tourism (except for the daily El Limón Waterfall excursions):

De Luz Hotel ($): a very affordable small hotel, with a couple of rooms which just got renovated when I was there a couple of years ago. No frills, but clean and great value for money. De Luz Hotel is located right in El Limón town and within walking distance of several restaurants and smaller shops but still set in a peaceful surrounding (call +1 809 757 5168 for availability).

Lutix Hotel * ($$): another affordable option in El Límon (Samaná), yet more expensive than De Luz Hotel as it offers more amenities such as a swimming pool and a restaurant. It is located slightly out of town but still walkable to El Limón. To the trailhead for the EL Limón hiking trail “Sendero El Café”, it is a 1-mile walk. ( check prices and availability here *)

Samana Eco-Lodge * ($$$): a unique hotel right in El Limón, just a few hundred feet behind the town, amidst the beautiful green and lush nature. You can expect a true eco-lodge here, where you can connect with nature and enjoy peace and happiness. Just note that the rooms don’t have proper walls. ( check prices and availability here *)

Local tours to waterfall Salto El Limón

 Once you arrive at one of those ranches (called “paradas”), the owners will most likely try to sell you a tour which usually includes the horseback ride and lunch. If you are interested in one of those tours, be prepared to haggle as they tend to overcharge. However, if you would like to have a tour with horseback ride and lunch I recommend booking one of the excursions listed above. There are hardly any advantages when going with the local tour operators as they are not as customer-orientated but more money-orientated. You probably have a better experience when going with an official tour *.

And, as a reminder I want to mention it again, most of the horses used for the El Limon Waterfall excursion – including those of the local tours and owners – are in pretty bad shape. Please don’t use them and better enjoy nature on one of the amazing El Limon Waterfall hiking trails.

Hiking trails to waterfall Salto El Limón

 On the other side, if you don’t want to have a tour at all, you are good to go once you park your car at the ranch. You might have to pay around 100-200 DOP as a parking fee and the ranch owners will try to tell you that it is dangerous to go on your own, but it is not as long as you have hiking experience, are in decent physical shape and head off with your GPS application to track your trail. Alternatively, hire a guide from the ranches and pay him around 20-40 USD per group (without horses, without lunch) and stay firm with your offers – they will try to milk more money out of you. 

 If you decide on visiting on your own, you have plenty of El Limon Waterfall hiking trails available. The good thing compared to other hiking areas in the Dominican Republic is that the hiking trails are marked in some way, so it is one of the few occasions where you can go hiking in the country without proper field experiences ( check out this article for more hiking options in Punta Cana ). However, due to the limited signs, I recommend going with a GPS that tracks your way to make sure you don’t get lost. In total, there are 6 hiking trails (called “Senderos”) leading to Salto El Limón. I will describe them shortly from north to south.

Sendero El Café

 Sendero El Café starts just 1 km behind the village of El Limón (Dominican Republic), making it the hiking trail closest to Las Terrenas. With around 2 miles and a spectacular viewpoint on the way (which is unique and doesn’t exist on the other hiking trails), it is also the longest and the most beautiful hike of all trails leading to the waterfall Salto El Limón. It also contains two river crossings, so be prepared that your shoes get wet and muddy (which also happens on most of the other trails).

Sendero La Manzana, Sendero Arroyo Surdido and Sendero Franklin

 These three trails are the shortest routes to Salto El Limón Waterfall. If you hike at a decent pace you can make them in around half an hour, as they are just around 1 mile long. On the way, you can see a smaller waterfall which, however, isn’t as impressive as El Limón Waterfall. A river crossing is also necessary on this hiking trail. The trailheads of Sendero La Manzana, Sendero Arroyo Surdido and Sendero Franklin can be found around 5 kilometers after the village of El Limón (Samaná).

Sendero La Javilla

 This hiking trail to Waterfall El Limón is only a few hundred meters longer than the three previously mentioned and leads along a beautiful and quiet river for a long time. It has the lowest incline of all options and is therefore the easiest to walk, although your shoes will get dirty due to the mud on most parts of the trail.

 Together with the Sendero El Café, Sendero Olga is the longest hiking trail with a distance of around 2 miles. It has the southernmost starting point and is the first trailhead when coming from Santa Barbara de Samaná. After half of the distance, it gets united with Sendero Javilla. The scenery here is quite attractive but not as spectacular as at Sendero El Café.

 You can also combine the different trails and walk one of the trails to get to the waterfall and another one to get back. Motoconchos and little public busses are plying the route along the trailheads, so if you choose this option you won’t have a problem getting back to your initial starting point or to your car.

 Interestingly enough, there is not only El Limón Waterfall when it comes to waterfalls in this area. Right below Salto Del Limón, just a few feet away, is another pretty waterfall. You can go pass there independently from the trail you choose. If you arrive at Sendero El Café, you will see this waterfall anyway.

There is also the smaller waterfall from a side river which I mentioned above, you pass it when using the Senderos Franklin, Manzana, Arroyo Surdido, La Javilla and Olga. 

 If you’d like to explore the region further, take yourself a local guide and a GPS and continue in the open terrain, as there are many streams, little cascades and unknown waterfalls. I once ventured out a little bit and saw a sneak peek of what’s possible but have to go back one day to deeper explore this region. However, please note that this is only for the adventurous people of you. If you are just on vacation for one week in the Dominican Republic, better stick to the marked trails or the guided excursions.

Summary: what is the best way to visit Salto El Limón Waterfall?

 As always, the answer is “it depends”. 

 If you are staying in Punta Cana and would like to visit Salto El Limón Waterfall just for a day trip, it is impossible to do this on your own. In this case, your best option is the air excursion * as it is considerably smoother and more exclusive plus you can enjoy marvelous views from the sky. However, if this is above your budget you can also go with the land excursion *, just be prepared for a very long (but action-filled) day. You can see the best Punta Cana to Samaná excursions in the text above.

 In case you have some days to spare, I highly recommend a multi-day road trip from Punta Cana, Santo Domingo or any other region in the Dominican Republic to Samaná. You can not only see the waterfall Salto El Limón, but also the other pristine and beautiful spots the peninsula has to offer, among them many virgin beaches . If you need any help crafting an itinerary, let me know via my travel coaching request .

 If you are already in Samaná, you have two options. You can either go with one of the guided tours starting from your accommodation * or you try to organize everything on your own. If you are staying in a resort or a villa and are not fancy to negotiate, to haggle and to prepare your daily itinerary, I would recommend a guided excursion as this is the smoothest way to visit El Limón Waterfall. You can also decide if you want to hike or horseback ride on these tours.

 On the other side, if you are an adventurer, have experience in traveling developing countries independently and are in an at least decent shape to hike the trails, you can explore Salto De Limón on your own. Thanks to the signs and the maps on every trailhead, it is possible to walk this without a guide as long as you hike carefully.

 It doesn’t matter which option you choose, you will have a great experience when visiting Salto El Limón Waterfall as it is one of the most beautiful waterfalls in the Dominican Republic. Make sure you visit as early as possible (before 9 am) or as late as possible (after 3 pm) to have as few other people as possible around you. Take your swimsuits, camera, sufficient water and hiking boots with you and enjoy a marvelous day in the abundant and lush nature of the Samaná peninsula. If you want to put the icing on the cake of an unforgettable Punta Cana vacation you shall decide on the Samaná Explorer from Punta Cana by plane excursion *. If El Limón Waterfall is too far for you and you prefer closer waterfalls, have a look at all the waterfalls reachable from Punta Cana in under 3 hours .

THE BEST WAY TO VISIT EL LIMON WATERFALL (SALTO EL LIMON)

The most famous waterfall in the Dominican Republic is EL Limon Waterfall, also known as Cascada de Limon or Salto El Limon in Spanish, and is an absolute must see when you’re traveling to the DR. It located in the beautiful province of Samana, with 50 meters of cascading water and 3 secret waterfalls nearby that you can access with the tour mentioned below.

HOW TO GET TO EL LIMON WATERFALL FROM SABANA DE LA MAR

There are several ways to get there, we chose the route with the least amount of time, the most beautiful views, and even added in an extra adventure on our way to Samama (we visited Los Haitises National Park).

GETTING FROM SABANA DE LAR MAR TO SAMANA : hop on a ferry for 500 DOP! The bus is a 7 hour drive but the ferry is a 40 minute to an hour ride and then another hour drive to get from Samana to El Limon. The ferry in Sabana De Lar Mar is located right next to Caney Restaurant and the last ferry leaves at 3pm (fair warning- the pier looks like its under construction but just keep walking past the “Sabana De Lar Mar A Novia De La Bahia” sign and ask a local about the ferry. A tiny little boat should take you to the larger ferry boat from the pier.

LINK TO PIER: https://www.google.com/maps?q=3J88+8HX+Muelle+Sabana+de+la+Mar,+Av+Duarte,+Sabana+de+la+Mar+25000,+Dominican+Republic&ftid=0x8eaf1e9d87667c05:0x46e52b8bcdd5bc3a&hl=en-US&gl=us&entry=gps&shorturl=1

GETTING FROM SAMANA TO EL LIMON: When in Samana, find the “bus” station where guaguas (basically trucks with seats in the bed) are ready to take you to all parts of the Samana Province. The bus station is called Parada Samana- Las Galeras on google maps. I believe the ride was 250 DOP.

LINK TO BUS STATION: https://www.google.com/maps?q=Parada+Samana-Las+Galeras,+Samaná+32000,+Dominican+Republic&ftid=0x8eaee12ee4f5d6ab:0x8b1b48dcd0000258&hl=en-US&gl=us&entry=gps&shorturl=1

There are day trips from Punta Cana by bus or with tour groups, but to avoid rushing and actually getting to see some hidden gems I suggest staying near El Limon and discover the beaches nearby.

If you are thinking about adding Los Haitises National Park to your adventure, check out the video below 🙂

WHERE TO STAY IN SAMANA:

Nature lovers- this secluded haven is for YOU.

SUSTAINABILITY PRACTICES OF SAMANA ECOLODGE:

“The lodge is completely independant with solar panels, water wells and fresh spring streams running through the land. The kitchen provides farm to table breakfasts, fresh hand picked fruits & veggies daily. Every stick, palm roofing or wood has been bought locally putting money back into the community, creating jobs and opportunity in the town of El Limón.”

We had the opportunity to stay at the Samana Ecolodge located only 15 minutes away and actually connected us to the tour to El Limon + 3 secret waterfalls AND a homemade dinner from the tour guides grandma!

Not only is this place absolutely gorgeous, it gives a peaceful place for you to further connect with nature. Check out their jungle bungalows here.

BEST TOUR TO EL LIMON WATERFALL WITH 3 SECRET WATERFALLS

I recommend walking vs taking a horse because you get to see so much MORE and are not using animals to do something you can do- walk. The horses also poop all over the trail which make it smell bad so it is best to reduce the amount of horses are going down there.

The ecolodge set us up with a tour with an amazing local guide, Jefferson who has discovered other hidden gems around the main El Limon Waterfall from his many adventures into the forest he grew up so close too.

Jefferson’s Instagram: https://instagram.com/jefferson_tours?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

Included in the tour is a guided trek to 4 different waterfalls, transportation to the waterfall from the Ecolodge and a lunch provided by Jefferson’s grandmother. It is such such an authentic and beautiful way to experience the El Limon Waterfall and I could not recommend a stay or experience more than this one!

Definitely put this waterfall tour on your DR bucketlist, it is a MUST SEE!

I hope this helps you plan your Dominican Republic adventure to EL Limon! Happy traveling my friends 🙂

Limon Waterfall

Located in the province of Samana, in the heart of a majestic tropical forest, at an altitude of 360m, the Limon waterfall is one of the most beautiful and impressive waterfalls in the Dominican Republic. The Limon waterfall is rewarding, getting there is a whole adventure, but at the bottom of its rock of more than 40 meters high, covered with moss, a beautiful swimming hole with freshwater awaits the brave adventurers, who will get a massage under the powerful water jets that hide small caves.

It is rather early in the morning that Nicolas invites his little troop to explore this surprising place of the Limon waterfall. You can do this trip either by horseback or donkey, but most of the time by foot with good shoes, to get as close as possible to the stunning nature.

After going across this peaceful environment you will finally reach a breathtaking scenery, the Limon waterfall.

A visit to Las Terrenas wouldn’t be complete without visiting the beautiful El Limon Waterfall . Trek to this stunning natural sight, surrounded by nature and birds singing, and take a dip in its refreshing waters.

We organize private tours and excursions to El Limon in Samana from Las Terrenas. We leave early morning so we can get there before the crowds and have the waterfall to ourselves for a while.

Trekking to El Limón Waterfall in Samana

The trek is pretty easy and requires a basic fitness level. The trail is about 2 kilometers long , it goes up and down, but nothing too steep. The walk takes about 30 minutes , more if you stop often to take pictures.

The views along the way are breath-taking, with lush hills and the sea on the horizon. Most of the path is shady, the trail winds through the jungle, and some cacao and coffee fields at the beginning.

You have to cross the river a few times, it’s not deep, but it’s a good idea to pack slip-proof shoes that can get wet for the trek, especially if it has been raining as the path can get pretty muddy.

If you want, you have the option to rent a horse for most of the trail. You’ll still have to do the last portion on foot as it’s too steep for the horses. It will save you some energy if you tire easily or don’t really enjoy trekking.

Before reaching the waterfall, you’ll get a stunning view over the lush jungle, with the waterfall peeping from the trees. There, you’ll find a small local shop where you can buy snacks and drinks, as well as local items such as cacao and coffee . You can also try Mamajuana , a type of local rum infused with dozens of local herbs, some with medicinal properties. Just ask your guide about it!

Swimming in El Limon Waterfall

El Limon waterfall reaches 164 feet high and there are some places to jump from (one 15 feet high and the other 30 feet high). You can get under the waterfall to enjoy a strong massage or get a bit further under it to see the hidden caves.

The water is just the perfect temperature to relax after the walk, with the pool shaded by the trees. Depending on rainfalls and the season you’re visiting, the amount of water coming out of the waterfall might not be the same, but you’ll always be able to swim in the pool.

Excursion to El Limon Waterfall from Las Terrenas

The tour includes transportation to/from Las Terrenas, all entrance fees, and a local guide speaking your language. Along the way, the guide will show you local plants and their use, explaining about the local way of life and Dominican culture. Once we reach El Limon waterfall, you can stay as long as you want. When you’re ready, we’ll head back, making a stop at the local cafe if you need to buy anything.

Don’t forget to bring your bathing suit and a towel. Have your swimsuit on as there’s no place to change at the waterfall. You might also want to take good hiking shoes that can get wet, sunblock, mosquito repellent, light clothing, and a rain jacket just in case. Also pack water and snacks, and try to have a good breakfast beforehand.

Are you looking for an incredible waterfall in the Dominican Republic? I’ve got you covered with exactly how to get to El Limon Waterfall (Cascada el Limon).

Getting to El Limon from Las Terrenas presents two distinct experiences: hiking or horseback riding.

My husband and I have explored both options ourselves, and are here to share our experiences so you can make an informed choice and plan your adventure accordingly.

As you plan your trip to the Dominican Republic, picture yourself surrounded by vibrant culture and lush landscapes, with the captivating El Limon waterfall as the focal point.

This destination goes beyond the ordinary tourist experience.

As you gear up for your tropical adventure, I want to share a story that mirrors the beauty of El Limon, inviting you to envision the experiences that await.

Let’s take it back to 2018 - the year my husband and I, still in our dating days, went on our first international trip together to the Dominican Republic.

Hiking El Limon became one of our first big adventures, laying the foundation for many more in the years that followed.

Now, celebrating a decade together, the allure of El Limon Waterfall drew us back.

This time, we embraced a different, more laid-back approach to reaching the waterfall.

In this article, we’re not just sharing our story but also offering you a guide to the various routes leading to El Limon. 

Whether you love hiking or prefer a calm horseback ride, there’s a path that can be tailored to your preferences.

Join me as we explore the options, discuss the beauty of El Limon, and help you plan the perfect way to craft your own memories at this incredible waterfall.

Where is Limon Waterfall?

If you look at the map of the Dominican Republic, you’ll find the capital, Santo Domingo, in the south, the popular resort town of Punta Cana in the east, and, to the north, secluded beaches surrounded by lush rainforests in Las Terrenas, Samana.

To start your adventure to El Limon Waterfall, head to the small town of El Limon in Samana, which is just a half-hour drive from Las Terrenas.

I personally stayed in Las Terrenas both times I visited the Dominican Republic.

This beach town on the Samana Peninsula serves as an ideal home base for exploring El Limon and getting to El Limon Waterfall (Cascada el Limon).

The waterfall stands tall at 52 meters and is a popular site for tourists and locals, alike.

How to Get to El Salto del Limon

If you’re coming from Las Terrenas, consider it an excellent starting point for your journey to El Limon.

Not coming from Las Terrenas? > Here’s how you can visit El Limon from Punta Cana .

> Here is how you can visit El Limon from Santo Domingo .

On our initial visit, we embraced the local experience by taking the guagua (essentially a pick-up truck or public transport van that can seat 10 to 20 people) from Las Terrenas to El Limon and then hiking to the falls.

The second time around, we opted for a more organized approach, still starting in Las Terrenas and booking a tour that provided transportation from our resort to a horse trail. 

From there, we enjoyed a scenic horseback ride leading us to the star of the show - El Limon Waterfall.

There are various routes to choose from, offering flexibility to suit your preferences.

Let’s get into more details below.

Hiking to El Limon Waterfall Dominican Republic

If you’re up for the adventure of hiking to El Limon waterfall, no guide is necessary, making it a more budget-friendly way to experience the falls.

This option offers the ultimate scenic route where everything unfolds at your own pace. 

However, to make the most of this journey, you'll need to familiarize yourself with the essential steps to take. 

RELATED ARTICLE: How to Get to Cascada de San Ramon

Guagua: Las Terrenas to El Limon Waterfall

First things first, you’ll need to hop on a guagua from Las Terrenas.

To catch a guagua, the fare is 50 RD, which is less than $1 USD per person one way . We woke up early, around 6 am, to ask the locals when to expect one.

Guaguas start running at 7:15 am and come approximately every 15 minutes until 6:30 pm.

In Las Terrenas, we located a bus stop on Duarte Street in front of the cemetery .

Simply wave one down, and pay in local currency when they pick you up.

During our ride, we shared the guagua with several other tourists, creating an interesting experience. 

People spoke various languages - English, Spanish, and others - yet we all managed to communicate somehow. 

We exchanged stories and learned a lot about people from around the world during this 35-minute ride to Las Terrenas, creating a cool cultural exchange.

Opening up to meeting people while traveling can result in a great experience, as we discovered during this journey to El Limon from Las Terrenas.

When you’re ready to leave El Limon, you can catch a guagua across from El Limon River back to Las Terrenas every 15 minutes between 6:30 am and 6 pm.

Salto El Limon Hike

After arriving by guagua from Las Terrenas, the journey to El Limon Waterfall begins with a brief ten-minute walk to the hike entrance from the bus stop.

To access Salto el Limon, there’s an entrance fee of 50 RD, approximately $0.90 USD per person.

It’s essential to be aware and avoid scams; neither guides nor horses are required.

You can easily take on the adventure on your own for less than a dollar.

The hiking experience kicks off at the entrance, and the trail predominantly inclines.

Exercise caution, especially when crossing the river early in the hike. 

I highly recommend wearing water shoes with good grip ; crossing the rivers with bare feet is an option, but sharp stones at the bottom of the river can detract from the experience.

Back in 2018, I underestimated the importance of water shoes (as I struggled in the picture above).

Needless to say, I haven't gone anywhere without water shoes since that very day.

Although the surroundings are very lush and green, with gorgeous views surrounding your every move, it’s not all glamorous.

Expect to trek through mud and horse poop along the way.

At the top of the hill, a restaurant awaits with a scenic view overlooking El Limon waterfall.

A 10-minute descent from the hilltop leads to a smaller waterfall, providing a refreshing break after the hike.

Following this point, a slight uphill walk awaits to complete the journey to the majestic 52-meter-high El Limon Waterfall.

Overall, this took us an hour and a half to hike to the falls from the entrance, going at our own pace.

El Limón Waterfall Horseback

As you explore the various options for reaching El Limon Waterfall, you’ll come across opportunities to opt for a horseback ride.

Ethical Considerations

This can be a convenient alternative to hiking, but it’s crucial to be mindful of potential ethical concerns related to the treatment of horses.

Online reviews have highlighted issues regarding the well-being of horses in the region, including reports of poor treatment and malnourishment. 

While personal experiences may vary, it’s essential to consider the broader impact on the welfare of these animals.

To make a positive impact during your visit, we recommend choosing tour operators that prioritize the ethical treatment of their horses.

Booking Experience

If you decide to opt for a horseback ride, take a moment to inquire about the treatment and care of the horses from the tour operator.

In our experience, we booked our tour through the resort we were staying with, Viva V Samana by Wyndham , to ensure we were going through a reputable operator that prioritizes a more humane and enjoyable experience for both the riders and the horses.

By making informed choices, you contribute to promoting responsible and ethical tourism practices.

Horse Riding Tour Experience

During our horse riding tour, helmets were a must, and our guides walked beside our horses, assisting them along the way.

The trail spanned about 40 minutes, with some parts proving a bit steep, and our guides took the time to point out local plans along the route.

Once we reached a stairway area, the horses were parked, marking the transition to the next part of our adventure.

We approached the amazing El Limon Waterfall as we descended about 250 stairs.

While descending, take your time and hold onto the rail for support.

Once you reach the falls, a local is usually present, ready to capture your memories with your camera.

They offer colorful props like parrots and flower crowns for a unique photoshoot experience. 

We tipped each photographer about $5 USD, but you can contribute what feels right to you.

Our photoshoot included couple shots, solo poses, various angles, and different spots around the waterfall - we had a lot of fun with it.

We even recreated photos that we took the first time we visited El Limon together.

After the photoshoot, we ventured into the cool waters. The falls provide plenty of shade, so don’t expect warm water. 

Be cautious as the rocks around the waterfall are extremely slippery!

Wearing water shoes with good grip is a must. 

We spent about an hour in the swimming hole beneath the waterfall, where rocks offer seating and you can swim towards the cascade. 

Arriving early is advisable, as by mid-day, large groups tend to arrive, potentially crowding the swimming hole.

Before heading back to where your horse is parked, there’s a gift shop at the top of the stairs where you can purchase souvenirs.

Coming back on horseback takes the same path, which is why doing this half-day tour in the morning is great.

It leaves you with the rest of the day to relax in the Dominican Republic.

If you’d like, you can give a tip to the guide who walked your horse before you go, but remember, it’s completely up to you.

Don’t feel pressured.

Moscow Metro

The Moscow Metro Tour is included in most guided tours’ itineraries. Opened in 1935, under Stalin’s regime, the metro was not only meant to solve transport problems, but also was hailed as “a people’s palace”. Every station you will see during your Moscow metro tour looks like a palace room. There are bright paintings, mosaics, stained glass, bronze statues… Our Moscow metro tour includes the most impressive stations best architects and designers worked at - Ploshchad Revolutsii, Mayakovskaya, Komsomolskaya, Kievskaya, Novoslobodskaya and some others.

What is the kremlin in russia?

The guide will not only help you navigate the metro, but will also provide you with fascinating background tales for the images you see and a history of each station.

And there some stories to be told during the Moscow metro tour! The deepest station - Park Pobedy - is 84 metres under the ground with the world longest escalator of 140 meters. Parts of the so-called Metro-2, a secret strategic system of underground tunnels, was used for its construction.

During the Second World War the metro itself became a strategic asset: it was turned into the city's biggest bomb-shelter and one of the stations even became a library. 217 children were born here in 1941-1942! The metro is the most effective means of transport in the capital.

There are almost 200 stations 196 at the moment and trains run every 90 seconds! The guide of your Moscow metro tour can explain to you how to buy tickets and find your way if you plan to get around by yourself.

Go beneath the streets on this tour of the spectacular, mind-bending Moscow Metro! Be awed by architecture and spot the Propaganda , then hear soviet stories from a local in the know. Finish it all up above ground, looking up to Stalins skyscrapers, and get the inside scoop on whats gone on behind those walls.

Know More about this tour

We begin our Moscow tour beneath the city, exploring the underground palace of the Moscow Metro. From the Square of Revolution station, famous for its huge statues of soviet people (an armed soldier, a farmer with a rooster, a warrior, and more), we’ll move onto some of the most significant stations, where impressive mosaics, columns, and chandeliers will boggle your eyes! Moreover, these stations reveal a big part of soviet reality — the walls depict plenty of Propaganda , with party leaders looking down from images on the walls. Your local guide will share personal stories of his/her family from USSR times, giving you insight into Russia’s complicated past and present. Then we’re coming back up to street level, where we’ll take a break and refuel with some Russian fast food: traditional pancakes, called bliny. And then, stomachs satiated, we are ready to move forward! We’ll take the eco-friendly electric trolleybus, with a route along the Moscow Garden Ring. Used mainly by Russian babushkas(grannies) during the day, the trolleybus hits peak hours in the mornings and evenings, when many locals use it going to and from their days. Our first stop will be the Aviator’s House, one of Stalin’s Seven Sisters, followed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs — and you’ll hear the legends of what has gone on inside the walls. Throughout your Moscow tour, you’ll learn curious facts from soviet history while seeing how Russia exists now, 25 years after the USSR.

Touring the Top 10 Moscow Metro Stations

By Claudia Looi 2 Comments

Komsomolskaya metro station looks like a museum. It has vaulted ceilings and baroque decor.

Hidden underground, in the heart of Moscow, are historical and architectural treasures of Russia. These are Soviet-era creations – the metro stations of Moscow.

Our guide Maria introduced these elaborate metro stations as “the palaces for the people.” Built between 1937 and 1955, each station holds its own history and stories. Stalin had the idea of building beautiful underground spaces that the masses could enjoy. They would look like museums, art centers, concert halls, palaces and churches. Each would have a different theme. None would be alike.

The two-hour private tour was with a former Intourist tour guide named Maria. Maria lived in Moscow all her life and through the communist era of 60s to 90s. She has been a tour guide for more than 30 years. Being in her 60s, she moved rather quickly for her age. We traveled and crammed with Maria and other Muscovites on the metro to visit 10 different metro stations.

Moscow subways are very clean

To Maria, every street, metro and building told a story. I couldn’t keep up with her stories. I don’t remember most of what she said because I was just thrilled being in Moscow.   Added to that, she spilled out so many Russian words and names, which to one who can’t read Cyrillic, sounded so foreign and could be easily forgotten.

The metro tour was the first part of our all day tour of Moscow with Maria. Here are the stations we visited:

1. Komsomolskaya Metro Station  is the most beautiful of them all. Painted yellow and decorated with chandeliers, gold leaves and semi precious stones, the station looks like a stately museum. And possibly decorated like a palace. I saw Komsomolskaya first, before the rest of the stations upon arrival in Moscow by train from St. Petersburg.

2. Revolution Square Metro Station (Ploshchad Revolyutsii) has marble arches and 72 bronze sculptures designed by Alexey Dushkin. The marble arches are flanked by the bronze sculptures. If you look closely you will see passersby touching the bronze dog's nose. Legend has it that good luck comes to those who touch the dog's nose.

3. Arbatskaya Metro Station served as a shelter during the Soviet-era. It is one of the largest and the deepest metro stations in Moscow.

4. Biblioteka Imeni Lenina Metro Station was built in 1935 and named after the Russian State Library. It is located near the library and has a big mosaic portrait of Lenin and yellow ceramic tiles on the track walls.

5. Kievskaya Metro Station was one of the first to be completed in Moscow. Named after the capital city of Ukraine by Kiev-born, Nikita Khruschev, Stalin's successor.

6. Novoslobodskaya Metro Station  was built in 1952. It has 32 stained glass murals with brass borders.

7. Kurskaya Metro Station was one of the first few to be built in Moscow in 1938. It has ceiling panels and artwork showing Soviet leadership, Soviet lifestyle and political power. It has a dome with patriotic slogans decorated with red stars representing the Soviet's World War II Hall of Fame. Kurskaya Metro Station is a must-visit station in Moscow.

8. Mayakovskaya Metro Station built in 1938. It was named after Russian poet Vladmir Mayakovsky. This is one of the most beautiful metro stations in the world with 34 mosaics painted by Alexander Deyneka.

9. Belorusskaya Metro Station is named after the people of Belarus. In the picture below, there are statues of 3 members of the Partisan Resistance in Belarus during World War II. The statues were sculpted by Sergei Orlov, S. Rabinovich and I. Slonim.

10. Teatralnaya Metro Station (Theatre Metro Station) is located near the Bolshoi Theatre.

Esto es todo lo que sabemos sobre la dieta que sigue Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift es muy reservada sobre sus preferencias alimenticias, pero ha compartido algunas pistas en el pasado: todo lo que hay que saber sobre lo que le gusta comer a la estrella.

• Las 6 mejores cintas de correr para entrenar en casa
• 7 cintas de correr plegables: las mejores marcas y modelos

Posiblemente Taylor Swift esté viviendo el mejor año de su vida . Está de gira por todo el mundo, acaba de ganar dos Grammy y ya ha presentado su undécimo álbum de estudio, The Tortured Poets Department . "Es una antología de nuevas obras que reflejan acontecimientos, opiniones y sentimientos de un momento fugaz y fatalista en el tiempo, uno que fue sensacional y doloroso a partes iguales", escribió la cantante en un pie de foto de Instagram sobre el álbum.

"Este periodo de la vida de la autora ya ha terminado, el capítulo cerrado y tapiado. No hay nada que vengar, ni cuentas que ajustar una vez que las heridas han cicatrizado. Y, pensándolo bien, muchas de ellas son autoinfligidas. Este escritor cree firmemente que nuestras lágrimas se convierten en sagradas en forma de tinta sobre una página. Una vez que hemos contado nuestra historia más triste, podemos liberarnos de ella. Y entonces lo único que queda es la poesía torturada".

Está claro que Taylor tiene mucho que hacer ahora mismo, y este año ha compartido algunos detalles sobre sus rutinas de salud y bienestar que la mantienen en forma y sintiéndose lo mejor posible . Aunque la estrella rara vez habla de su dieta, eso no ha impedido que la gente se pregunte qué es lo que alimenta a una superheroína tan brillante, especialmente en los días de partido con su novio Travis Kelce y en los espectáculos de tres horas de la gira Eras Tour.

¿Qué le gusta comer a Taylor Swift? Aquí está todo lo que ha dicho (y sugerido) sobre algunas de sus comidas favoritas en los últimos años.

A Taylor le encanta salir a cenar con amigos

Cuando no está agotando las entradas de estadios de todo el mundo, Taylor suele salir a cenar con amigos . En los últimos meses se la ha visto en varios restaurantes de Nueva York, como Nobu 57, Koi New York, BondSt, Via Carota, Il Buco Alimentari and Vineria y La Lanterna di Vittorio, según Eater New York .

Aunque Taylor parece estar interesada en una amplia gama de alimentos, las cocinas italiana y asiática han sido las más repetidas .

Adopta un enfoque equilibrado de la alimentación

Taylor no ha compartido mucho sobre su dieta en años. Sin embargo, en 2010 declaró a WebMD que intenta llevar una dieta "ligera", pero sin privarse de nada. " Durante la semana, trato de comer sano, así que eso significa ensaladas, yogur y sándwiches ", dijo. " Nunca dejo de comer lo que me gusta. Intento que sea ligera, pero nada demasiado estricto ni alocado. Sabemos lo que nos conviene, gracias al sentido común ".

Le encanta la repostería

Taylor ha hablado con frecuencia de su pasión por la repostería, y sus fans saben que prepara deliciosos pasteles y productos de panadería . Un ejemplo: recientemente hizo rollos de canela para su novio Travis Kelce antes de uno de sus partidos en octubre.

"Taylor es muy simpática", dijo Bernie Kosar, amigo de Travis, en el programa de Tobin y Leroy en el 560 de WQAM. "Ella viene sola y es tan guay. Hizo sus rollos de canela caseros para Travis para la comida previa al juego ". Allá por 2020, Tay compartió una foto de unos bollos de canela de aspecto delicioso que había estado preparando.

Taylor también llevó pan de calabaza casero a su sesión fotográfica para Time "Persona del Año" de este año, según los fotógrafos Inez & Vinoodh. "Llega al estudio con pan de calabaza casero- ¡te quiero Taylor! Besos", escribieron en Instagram .

Esta es una antigua costumbre de Tay: en 2012, declaró a Bon Appétit que le encanta cocinar pan de calabaza y galletas de melaza y jengibre .

Le encanta cocinar para sus amigos

El coguionista de Taylor, Aaron Dessner, dijo a People que a la estrella en realidad le encanta cocinar. "He pasado mucho tiempo con ella y nunca he visto a nadie atenderla", dijo. " Cuando he estado en su casa, Taylor cocinaba el desayuno y la cena para todos. Es legítimamente una persona con los pies en la tierra y muy trabajadora ".

El café es su bebida favorita

Taylor reveló este dato en una entrevista con Vogue hace siete años. Y aunque de eso hace ya bastante tiempo, parece que la bebida con cafeína sigue ocupando un lugar privilegiado en su corazón, porque en 2021, se asoció con Starbucks para poner su bebida favorita -un Grande Caramel Nonfat Latte- en el menú, según Food & Wine .

Pero Taylor también se asegura de hidratarse todo el día, todos los días. " Tengo mucha agua en mi camerino porque bebo como diez botellas de agua al día ", dijo a Bon Appétit. "Bebo tanta agua que mis amigos me llaman extraterrestre".

Dejó el alcohol durante su gira

Los espectáculos de la gira Eras Tour de Taylor Swift no son ninguna broma: suelen durar tres horas e implican una tonelada de coreografía y canto . Para preparar su cuerpo a todas esas actuaciones, Taylor dijo a Time que dejó de beber, con la excepción de una noche "divertidísima" en los premios Grammy 2023. "Hacer ese show con resaca... no quiero conocer ese mundo", dijo.

Taylor apareció disfrutando de un cóctel (¿tal vez un martini expreso especialmente espumoso?) en su fiesta de cumpleaños de este año, así que parece que todavía se atreve de vez en cuando con una bebida alcohólica.

Su comida reconfortante son las hamburguesas con queso, las patatas fritas y un batido de chocolate

Tay también compartió esto con Vogue , señalando que este sería su pedido favorito en un autoservicio. Para los fans de siempre, esto no es una sorpresa: en 2010 declaró a WebMD que sus comidas favoritas son una hamburguesa con patatas fritas, helado y galletas caseras .

La estrella también optó por usar un disfraz de patatas fritas durante el rodaje de su video musical para su canción, "You Need To Calm Down". "A happy meal 🍔🍟💗", subtituló las fotos, en las que posa con Katy Perry (que va disfrazada de hamburguesa).

Taylor tuvo un pastel de cumpleaños Milk Bar este año

Milk Bar es un favorito de culto entre los fans de la repostería, y parece que a Taylor también le gustan los productos de la marca. Incluso mostró su tarta (con las palabras "Cumpleañera del Año" escritas en ella) en dos fotos de su publicación de cumpleaños en Instagram. "No me puedo creer que este año... de verdad... ¿ha pasado? Gracias por todos sus hermosos deseos de cumpleaños ayer. 🥲", escribió en el pie de foto de la publicación .

Lo de golosa está claro que lo heredó porque a su padre también se le vio compartiendo su tarta con la gente que estaba en el palco de al lado en un partido de los Chiefs este año en un vídeo de TikTok .

Le puede gustar o no el rancho.

La gente se destornilló cuando una cuenta de fans de Taylor compartió una foto en X (antes Twitter) de Taylor en uno de los partidos de Travis, señalando en el pie de foto que estaba disfrutando de "un trozo de pollo con ketchup y aparentemente ranch".

El comentario provocó un montón de reacciones e incluso disfraces de Halloween. Vale la pena señalar: Taylor aún no ha aclarado si, de hecho, le gusta el rancho.

El menú de su caja para la Super Bowl era de gama bastante alta

Taylor vio a su novio Travis jugar en la Super Bowl desde una suite bastante lujosa (cuesta 2,5 millones de dólares) con un menú aún más lujoso. Los manjares disponibles incluían: una torre de cócteles de gambas, arroz frito con cangrejo real, solomillo de wagyu, quesadillas de buey y langosta, y pollo frito con suero de leche y gofres con sirope de arce , según Delish .

La carta de postres era igual de sabrosa, con tarta de queso helada y un "Hot Dog Macaron" de plátano cubierto de chocolate, macaron de chocolate, ganache de vainilla y salsa de fresa. También había algunos cócteles especiales con nombres tan apropiados como The Rumming Back (Captain Morgan, licor de flor de saúco, golden passion mix y cerveza de jengibre fría), Sin City Sour (licor de albaricoque Marie Brizard, sour de limón fresco y cerveza de jengibre) y el First and Tequlia (Casamigos Blanco, Cointreau, zumo de lima y sour de limón fresco), según el pub.

El menú también incluye palomitas de maíz, perritos calientes envueltos en beicon, burritos de carne quemada a la barbacoa, patatas fritas de carne asada, nachos surf and turf, un perrito caliente cargado de wagyu con cebolla crujiente, pimientos plataneros y extremos quemados de pecho de wagyu , según Delish .
